This is a slightly awkward question, lol, but I was really thinking about this. Fertile eggs are halal to eat, right?
We have chickens, including a rooster. They're a breed which is late to mature, he has only just started mating with the hens recently so nearly every egg we are getting is fertile.
I think they'd be okay to eat? I think some people find it gross (like my friend) because they're not used to it.
btw, here's a quick science lesson. Next time you crack an egg, carefully look at the yolk. You will see a little white spot - that is a dormant chick-to-be which every egg has. If it is fertilised, it will look like there is a ring outside the white spot. Pretty easy to tell once you get used to it.

JazakAllah khayr for replying, I was just wondering....
Oh my gosh, I would never eat Balut! I don't know who would eat a dead chick in the shell....
But yes, I was looking for a ruling on when the egg has just been fertilised and is collected that very day. That picture is interesting - I would say our chicken's eggs are collected with 10 hours at the latest, and none of our hens sit on them so they wouldn't develop anyway....
