Are eggs laid by a broiler hen fertilized or not?
Eggs laid by broiler hens are not fertilized.
Here's why:
* Broiler hens are male chickens. They are bred for meat production, not egg laying. They are usually kept separate from female chickens.
* Eggs need to be fertilized to develop into chicks. This requires a rooster to mate with a hen.
* Broiler hens are specifically bred to grow quickly and efficiently. They are not kept in conditions that would allow them to mate.
So, while you might find some eggs from a broiler hen, they will not be fertilized and won't contain a chick.
