If an egg laid on Shabbat gets mixed in with other eggs, are all the eggs forbidden?
Synopsis
The egg does not become nullified even in a mixture of a thousand because it is a davar she'yesh lo matirin (something that will become permitted — i.e., after Shabbat). Even a doubtful case (safek if laid on Shabbat) does not achieve bitul.
