Vegans and eating happy chicken eggs are they still vegan?

Question

So this is a debate that has been around for years but I wanted to hear your opinion. 
Vegans generally don’t consume or use any animal products including eating chicken eggs. 
Some vegans believe it’s ok to eat eggs if they come from happy Home raised  chickens. Like if you have your own well taken care of chicken who lay eggs then it’s not causing any harm to eat the eggs. For other vegans it’s a hard no to eat eggs at all no matter how the chicken is raised. 
What do you think are you still considered a vegans if you eat happy chicken eggs? Or consuming any chicken eggs means you are not vegan?

Answer

Are you sure you're not confusing Vegetarian and Vegan? Because I don't know any Vegan who eats ANY animal products no matter how they're kept

Answer

Vegan means you eat no animal products.

Answer

This is not a popular opinion in the vegan community. Most vegans will tell you that in order to be vegan you don’t consume any animal product at all. I personally don’t like the idea of policing how others label themselves or what they eat. For me, personally wouldn’t fall under veganism but others can do what they wish. I would prefer to focus on the positives of a more vegan lifestyle

Answer

I’ve never heard a vegan make that argument. Typically people I know will just say vegetarian since eggs are still an animal product. I hear more fights about if ethically sourced honey is vegan or not. 
That said I don’t give a fuck all what people eat or choose to call themselves.

Answer

To me eggs mean not vegan but anymore I wish people would stop needing to label how you eat. Vegan, vegatarian, pescatarian, fruitarian, keto, etc. Eat what you want and are comfortable with in my opinion but to me the labels are unneeded. Tell me if you have an allergy or dont eat something please so I know and can accommodate but unless you have a condition like celiac I don't need lifestyle/diet names. Please tell me if you need a celiac diet though before a dinner party though haha. Gotta prep for that one.

Answer

By definition, a vegan doesn’t eat eggs. If someone eats no animals products except eggs, they’re a vegetarian

Answer

I mean you can’t just become a vegan cold turkey, you could but you are risking becoming sick. At least their trying slowly. I don’t really give a shit either way

Answer

I’m not going to tell a vegan they are wrong if they eat them. I think it would depend on where the chickens are and how they’re getting the eggs. “Free range” is kind of a loose term I think. The vegan society defines veganism as “Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.” So if you didn’t have any food left other than meat, I think you could still call yourself a vegan and eat it. It’s about doing the most you can.

Answer

Chicken eggs are only "unborn" if they've been fertilized by a male. What you're eating Is an unfertilized egg.. you're eating a chickens period 🙄

Answer

I'm vegan. NO animal products at all. But one of my best friends has 4 chickens and she loves them. They're her pets and she gets eggs from them. She spoils them like a dog or cat could be.
