Is eating these eggs considered vegetarian?

I beacame a vegetarian recently because of the way the animals I ate were treated. I have a chicken, all I feed her is dried corn and fruits. She is a happy chicken and roams around the backyard all day. She lays eggs about 3 times a week (I don't have a rooster, so theres no chance for little chicks bieng in these eggs!). Can I eat them and still consider myself a vegetarian?Is eating these eggs considered vegetarian?
Sure can, seems like she's a happy hen.



We have 50 of them, i have no concerns over eating the eggs - they would clearly just be abandoned and left to go rotten if i didn't pick them up.



when i see statements like "yes, but your not vegan".. it "feels" like people are telling you you've failed. I wonder why they feel obliged to put you in your place. Its not a race or competition. For many people Vegetarian lines up with thier morals, why does that somehow feel inferior to vegan. It shouldn't.



The picture linked above is just propaganda childish shock, who ever took the picture clearly does not understand the biology of a hens egg.
Wrong. Eggs are animal protein not vegetables! You can call yourself whatever you want but you are not a vegetarian if you eat animal proteins.

Vegetarianism never stop at eating habit alone; Philosophy %26amp; a continuous journey beyond.
Yes, but not a vegan. Vegans don't eat animals or animal byproducts like milk and eggs. I think it is great that your pet is providing you with the iron and protein you will need by not eating meat.
