Has anybody tried hatching fertile eggs bought from Trader Joe's? I was at the store the other day and they were selling fertile eggs by the dozen. Is this better than hatching eggs sold on eBay?
I had a very broody hen who was losing weight and showing no sign of giving up so I bought a dozen fertile eggs at Trader Joe's and put them under her. Day 5 we candled and only found 10 eggs (maybe other 2 are buried in shavings), 7 of them were viable. Anyway, it's been so many years since I...

Hey everyone, I am doing my very first hatch and I decided on using Trader Joe's white eggs. I am so eggcited because we are on day 5 and the majority of my 3 dozen eggs purchased have blood viens starting to run through them. I do believe though that one of the eggs has a blood ring, but I'm...
