Birds' eggs, in shell; fresh, preserved or cooked

In plain English

This category covers eggs from birds that are still in their shells, whether they are fresh, preserved, or cooked. The fresh eggs are further divided based on whether they are intended for hatching and the specific type of bird they come from. Eggs that are not meant for hatching are also separated by the species of the bird. Finally, any eggs that have been preserved or cooked fall into a separate group regardless of their origin or intended use.
