Are the eggs we boil alive while we start to boil them?

No. Hens (for example) lay eggs all of the time. Not all of these eggs contain chicken embryos in them. Only a hen that has been "mounted" by a rooster can produce baby chickens from her eggs.

The eggs we buy at the store contain no embryo, so if they were not consumed, they would rot and not produce a baby chick. The eggs are not fertilized.

So no, unless the egg has been taken from a hen and it contains an embryo/baby chicken, they are not alive.

Nope that helps!

No not at all, there's no feather, beak, or claws to worry about. Besides eggs have a lot of nutritional value, such as protein, biotin, vitamin K, vitamin B, and minerals.

No they were never alive. We only eat unfertilised eggs - never fertilised ones.

No.
The eggs you buy at the store are not fertilized.
