are farm-eggs vegeterian?

Marketing Strategies

Eggs in general that you buy at the grocery store are, based on your definition. The chickens that are on chicken farms are caged and they do not have access to males.

Depends on type of Vegetarianism. Real Vegetarian no, cause any animal product would be wrong. Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian it would be fine.

Marketing Strategies

if you are ovo-(lacto)-vegetarian, yes.
if you are just lacto-vegetarian, no.
it depends on your choice.
vegan, eggs are certainly not.

Marketing Strategies

No, they are ovo-vegetarian and horrifically cruel.

They are unfertilized so it is more like a chicken period and nothing like a chicken abortion.

Marketing Strategies

Eggs are vegetarian but not vegan. I am a vegetarian but i choose not to eat eggs because i consider them to be chicken abortions and that is just gross.

Marketing Strategies

Once it hits the store shelf its just an egg you can cook, thats it.

vegetarians can eat most any kind of egg its the vegans who typically can’t.

A female chicken is going to lay an egg or two every day whether they are fertilized or not. After the eggs are gathered, the farmer runs the eggs through a machine …like an X-ray…that shows a red spot in the center of a fertilized egg. Those eggs are put into incubators and allowed to hatch. This is a farmer’s breeding stock and gives him new biddies on a frequent basis. The rest of the eggs are unfertilized and are sold. Now this is the way small time farmers do it.

Large companies, however, have specialized high tech equipment and contracted breeders. These are huge farms. They control fertilization and the roosters and chickens are sometimes many miles apart and have never laid eyes on each other.

Fertlization is achieved by artifical insemination. The eggs from the inseminated chickens go directly into incubators and are hatched. The ****** are sent to a “grower” to raise until they are a certain age. Then they are sent to a processing plant that prepares the chicken for sale in meat markets and grocery stores.

The chickens that lay unfertilized eggs are generally kept in a totally different facility. Their sole purpose is egg production. None of these chickens are inseminated so none of them are fertilized. As the eggs are gathered, they immediately go to a washing conveyor belt. They are washed thoroughly, graded, and put into egg cartons and shipped.

To make a long story short, unless you buy eggs from a local farmer who has no high tech equipment, the chances are nil to nothing that you will ever see a fertilized egg.

The vegetarians who claim eggs are aborted chickens are totally misinformed.
