Trader Joes & Other Grocery Store Egg Hatching Club - Are you a Member

Try local organic grocery stores and farmers' markets to get fertile eggs. You will do best with fresh local fertile eggs, but if you can't get them, consider getting fertile eggs that have been shipped a short distance. Take a look at the buy-sell-swap posts on this forum, too.

Hey everyone go check out my new chicken egg auction https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1109475/chicken-auction-but-and-sell-you-chickens-here for chicken hatching eggs (and chicken adult and chicks (as long as you know how to mail live poultry ))

I thought I was good at telling. Looks like a bullseye to me but this from that vital farm pack. Only fertile one if it is.

Not seeing the bullseye on that one. Looks like 0/12.
The embryonic disc is the white spot at five o'clock. Looks solid.

Possibly joining the club...after 2 different visiting people said they'd get me TJ's or WF's eggs this past weekend (I don't live near either of those stores) and it didn't work out (1 said his local TJ didn't carry the eggs marked fertile and the other person just bought regular eggs), I decided to stop at a local Farmer's Stand and pick up a dozen in the hopes that they're fertile...cracked one and we seemed to see a bullseye...so in the 'bator they went! We'll see!

The brand of eggs is Yellow Bell Farm in the Hudson Valley in NY.

And now I'm on a weird quest to randomly find fertile eggs and hatch them just to be surprised by what

 

[BusyBearMama]

This chick's name is Lola, because you never-a-kno-lah. I pulled 5 eggs from my fridge 3 weeks ago, one hatched so far, the others are in the air cells.

What kind!? So cute, any more luck?
