Eggs and veganism

[SpursforSix]

As worldly and educated as I am, I was shocked to find that most eggs for consumers are not fertile. So you're not killing baby chickens to have omelettes.
I do get that BigFood stores hens is pretty despicable conditions. But do vegans have a problem with an individuals having hens that just lay infertile eggs? We have some friends that have a few hens and they're certainly not mistreated.
They're laying these eggs that aren't going to turn into anything. What's the vegans problem with this? If there is one.

Vegans are against the use of any animal products for any purpose. That’s why eggs are out, along with milk and cheese and butter, wool, leather, etc.

Vegetarians are another story, i think a lot of them do eat eggs.

Right...but one of the main aspects of veganism is to avoid cruelty to animals. So if you have hens that lay infertile eggs, is there anything cruel about eating those eggs?

Leather sandwiches on whole wool bread, now that sounds like a heckuva lunch

Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_product), particularly in diet (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_(nutrition)), and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_status_of_animals).

They think animals shouldn’t be “used” by humans for anything. They even think riding a horse is unethical. I’m not sayin it makes sense, just that’s their philosophy.

I mean...what if I liked to eat dog poop. I have a dog that I take good care of and then go out and eat his poop. How is that different that eating a chicken egg that isn't going to turn into anything?

So I've got a pet chicken that lays infertile eggs. But I can't eat them.
And I've got a dog that poops and I can eat that.
