Explanation:
A) Chickens raised for eggs are known as layers, while chickens raised for meat are called broilers. In the United States, the national organization overseeing poultry production is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
B) Chickens lay unfertilized eggs because they are attempting to collect a clutch. In some cases, hens are bred to have long laying seasons so they might lay a couple hundred eggs in a single season. Breeds that have not been bred for laying might only lay a dozen eggs and only during a specific time of year.
C) For the eggs to be fertilized, the hen and rooster must mate first, and this process must occur prior to the formation of the egg. Thus, if the hen has mated and she lays an egg, then that egg is fertilized. If the hen has not mated and she lays an egg, then that egg is unfertilized.
D) Most eggs sold commercially in the grocery store are from poultry farms and have not been fertilized. In fact, laying hens at most commercial farms have never even seen a rooster. Given the right nutrients, hens will lay eggs with or without having been in the presence of a rooster.
E) Rest assured that you can eat your fertilized chicken eggs just fine like the unfertilized ones. As for its nutritional value, the issue whether fertile chicken eggs are healthier than unfertilized eggs remains up to this day a highly debatable one.
Explanation:
(a) Layers are chickens that are cultured or raised for eggs; while Broilers are the chickens that are raised for meat.
(b) Usually, hens lay fertilized eggs. In hens, internal fertilization takes place and eggs are hatched outside the mother's body.
(c) Fertilized egg is obtained through the fusion of the male's sperm and female's ovum to form a zygote. The unfertilized egg does not form zygotes.
