SC - eggs

[Christi Redeker (Contractor)]

Going to contribute on the subject of roosters and eggs.  Hopefully 
someone else does not say this before the eight hours it seems it 
takes my mail server to respond.

You have more than one rooster for breeding purposes.  Chickens die 
very often on a farm, (disease, dogs, cats, raccoons, even skunks have 
a factor in that).  You keep more than one rooster around for a change 
in genetics and age.  Besides, you wouldn't kill a prime laying hen, 
you would kill a young rooster, at least where I grew up.

While that might be part of it, I don't believe that this is really a
practicle take.  Yes, hens with a rooster produce developing eggs, but 
you
can't "strain" blood out- and I'll just leave that at that to not get 
nasty.
Breaking eggs into a separate container from the rest of the mix to 
check them
for bits one wouldn't want to cook with, would I am sure be explained 
as just
that.
Putting raw eggs through some sort of mesh would mix them together 
quickly
without the labor of beating,  and putting cooked (say hard boiled) 
eggs
through a mesh would make them into a nicely mixed crumbly substance 
easily
mixed into whatever else.
