We were talking about a tradition that was created in the middle of the last century, when home fridges started to include egg trays, and supermarkets were (probably) a little different than today.

Yes, I can inform you that you can definitely buy organic fertilized eggs in many places, at least in Europe.

And if you think that we never studied embryology and sexual reproduction in the faculty of biology and that I did my thesis in animal reproduction without knowing what is an ovule and what is a spermatozoa... well, you have a really weird sense of the reality. I would not buy anything "demonstrated by you" at this moment.

By the way, my rooster send you a salute.
