I've never made them but understand that they are cooked while the embryo is still alive and, hence, fresh. I don't think one could use dead-in-shell chicks for balut.
Balut is great! We love it here in the Philippines. The usual eggs used are duck eggs. Don't know how they exactly prepare, I just enjoy eating them haha. But I know they steam/boil them for some time
