egg collection

Poultry farmer's yield

Egg collection refers to gathering eggs, whether from poultry for food, from wild birds' nests as a hobby, or from a woman's ovaries for fertility treatment.

The poultry sense is straightforward farmwork.

Collecting wild bird eggs, once a popular Victorian pastime, is now illegal in many countries due to conservation concerns.

In reproductive medicine, egg collection (or egg retrieval) is the procedure extracting eggs for IVF or freezing: The egg collection went smoothly, and they retrieved twelve eggs.
