I was talking to my mom about this post(dunno why I didn't ask her in the first place about eggs) and she told me that you would know that a hen's eggs were fertilized when she refused to get off her nest. They didn't touch her eggs then. (she grew up raising chickens, hogs, etc.) Isn't that amazing?

I heard nowdays they shine a light through the eggs to see if it's fertilized or not-the big factory farms, I suppose...
