this is my first time trying them refiegirated i hope it works
There are plenty of people that have hatched Trader Joe's fertilized eggs, and those are refrigerated for several days by the time the consumer gets them. I think that they're getting 2-4 to hatch per dozen, which isn't so bad when you consider the handling.

well wish me luck
Nearly all of my hatching eggs are first refrigerated. I typically get 90+% of the chicken eggs to hatch.
Yea I think the hatch rate will go way down..
What temp are you planning on holding them at in the fridge? Standard fridge temp is 40* or a little below. I'd guess that the lower the temp, the lower the hatch rate.
Glad I saw this thread. Someone accidentally put my eggs in the fridge today!!!
trying this tomorrow for the first time, i will be setting 6 refrigerated eggs and 3 non refrigerated ones from the same flock.
