What is a "hairy egg"?
Hairy eggs are also known as Wang eggs, chicken eggs and hairy eggs. Fujian is called an egg embryo, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are called a prosperous egg or a happy egg. Hairy eggs are immature chickens that are affected by improper temperature, humidity or some germs during the incubation process, which leads to the stop of chicken embryo development and death in the eggshell.

Hairy eggs are different from live beads. Hairy eggs are eggs that have failed to hatch, while live beads are eggs that are hatching for about 12 days. The taste of the two is also quite different. The live beads are more delicious and have higher nutritional value.

Misunderstanding of egg consumption:

Maternal women should ensure food diversity, besides eating one or two eggs a day, they should also eat meat, milk, beans, grain and fruits and vegetables to achieve a balanced diet.
