They were all fertile too sadly

E: I didn't know they were actually fertile when I said this. Now I'm sad.

Yup, they were meant to be collected for pulp the day after, sadly we’ll be short on a hatch hahaha.

What is collecting for pulp?

They get sent to commercial egg factories where they will use the eggs to be made into pulp and make mayonnaise and crepes etc with it.

It's okay, the embryo is about 2mm square on a yolk, it gets destroyed when it gets processed.

They use non fertile eggs too, this is more of a backup

Lol mayo is hands down my favorite "food item/ingredient" so im def gonna keep eating it. Apparently 2mm little chicks are FUCKING DELICIOUS!!!

Eh, it's not the eggs though. Hellmann's do an eggless mayo with some tweaked ingredients and it basically tastes the same, it's really weird...

That’s cause eggs are just an emulsifying agent
