My rabbi, Reb Moshe Feinstein, ZT''L, doesn't directly address this question except perhaps by implication:

> eggs, he adds them to the unfertilized eggs for sale in supermarkets.
> However, it is clear that not too many farmers do this, and those who
> do only do so with a few eggs." Therefore, if one buys an egg from

> even without checking it. However, it is common custom to check all
> eggs for bloodspots and to treat them as if they were fertilized.
