The eggs that humans consume are unfertilized. The eggs containing males are fertilized and will not be sold in stores. They will be macerated while they're still in the egg instead of after hatching.
Not much of a moral victory for anyone, especially considering that the hens that get to live don't have good lives.

Apparently, many of the eggs sold in stores are infertile. But fertile eggs can still be eaten. The process of storing them away is a little bit more cumbersome because they go bad if they are not eaten fresh.
