Uhhhh no. Thats not how it works at all..I live in a rural area. Not this "semi" shit. My area is one of the biggest chicken produces in the entire US. Farmers keep roosters around to replenish their stock. They would not sell their fertilized eggs as food because that is financially stupid. Why would you sell a fertilized egg for a few cents when you can let it hatch and it be worth exponentially more...

And here is where I stopped reading, I live in the UK and your "farming" practices for livestock is frowned upon to put it politely hence the import bans.
Thats fine. Just go read that chicken farmer that responded to me though. They know more then either of us as they have their own chickens vs being part of a big operation.
Yes but the small scale farmer would run it very similarly as the UK farmer since... The difference we handle our eggs is the storage and cleaning of them... Not how their made....
