Tosefta for Chullin 127:23
של עוף פלוני וטהור הוא סמוך עליהם
- Rather, said Raba, It is to teach that if [the embryo within was] developed, whosoever eats it would incur stripes for [eating] creeping things that crawl upon the earth.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. Lev. XI, 41. The Baraitha therefore stated 'it is a reptile's egg' to inform us of the appropriate prohibition that must be declared to the transgressor as a warning before he commits the offence, in order to render him liable to stripes.');"><sup>11</sup></span>
Tosefta Chullin
And as to eggs, any [egg] that narrows [at the top] and is rounded, if it is known to be from an impure bird, and any [egg] that does not narrow [at the top] or is not rounded, if it is known to be from a clean bird, is clean (see Hul. 64a:2). They may take eggs from either of them and they need not be concerned lest [the eggs] are from carrion or from tereifot. They may not sell eggs from carrion or from teriefot to idolaters unless they are cracked open into a dish, and moreover, [the Sages] said, they may not buy from idolaters eggs cracked open into a dish.
