Just curious if anyone has even tried to hath grocery store eggs and if anyone was successful? Cause that sounds hilarious and I would love to hear the stories 
Have you ever hatched grocery store eggs?

That would be impossible since those eggs are 100% unfertilized because the females are kept in cages with other females. It would also be improbable because those eggs you get in the grocery store are at least a month old. Now farmers market or privately sold eggs is another story.
I hatched eggs from the grocery store, but the were labelled "free range". I found that 10/12 were actually fertile (or at least developed to some extent), but I only got 3 chicks from those eggs. I believe being very cold for quite some time had something to do with that.

Oh cool! I knew I had heard of people doing that
so they were free range...regular grocery store or health food store? Also we're you able to figure out the breed?
I got them from a regular grocery store! But yes, free range. And they were brown eggs, but yellow chicks. I have no idea what they were, however... I also gave them away rather soon, but they were just white chickens. Very flighty though, not friendly compared to most chicks I've hatched. But it certainly can be done.
