Ok, this is probably a really basic question, but i've not been able to find an answer to it via google
I'm planning on getting chicks (i'll get a proper book all about it nearer the time), primarily i'll want them for the pot, so i'll need a cockeral too (see, the schools haven't failed society that much!)
However, i'll also want to keep some of the eggs for eating.
Now, I know that if i'm keeping them for eggs, it's just a case of popping down and collecting the eggs daily. However, if there is a cockeral involved in the equation, these eggs may be fertilised. so are they ok for popping straight into the fridge and then into my breakfast omelette?
or will i need to keep the dirty perverted cockeral away from the girls until i decide i want some chicks?
