Chickens

What do you have to do to the eggs so you can eat them?  How do you get a yolk as opposed to bloody little chick fetus?

The only way you get a chick is if you have a rooster, which we don't.

Hens will lay eggs nearly daily, regardless.

Funny ... I initially thought this was a strange question, but I grew up in the country, where knowledge like this is a given.

Cook them....Scrambled or fried over EZ is my preferred method.  Try eggs with a side of  buttered toast or biscuits and gravy, maybe a breakfast burrito.

Collect the eggs daily and the yolks have no time to become a bloody little chick fetus. Even if the hen has been bred by a rooster, it takes a setting hen's body heat 21 days to incubate the yolk into a chick.  

Though the eggs and butchered chickens that are sold in this area come from a factory in Bristow, Springdale or from the Pilgrims in Kilgore, TX...the basic biology is the same. Some eggs become chickens and some are served up every morning.
