But no one wants to eat them because they're fertilized.

Clearly you haven't been travelling through Asia.

I'm sorry, but if you're gonna use countries like China which have a dish literally called "virgin boy eggs" and consists of eggs and urine, i dont think you have room to talk.

I didn't even mention China, you know Asia is a continent with many countries, right?

You can find information about fertilized eggs pretty easily and the first thing that pop ups on a search online is not "virgin boy eggs" but something called Balut. Well, maybe with your search history it does, but that's not my problem.

Have a look here if you are still open to expand your Asian horizon: https://www.seriouseats.com/asian-eggs-salt-cured-century-balut-tea-egg

The chick doesn't form instantly. If you get the eggs daily then fertilized eggs are indistinguishable from store bought unfertilized ones. Even if you wait a week or so, at most there's just like a brown spec the size of a peppercorn.
