Breed of store bought hatching egg experiment.

It was supposed to say leghorns

Ah, that makes much more sense!
Yes, Leghorns are the most popular white egg layers commercially.

They tend to be more active and nervous than many other breeds, so some people do not like them as well in backyard flocks.

We like active birds here. Their fun to watch XD.

They have a lot of chickens.

Technically, the linkage of color/sex has nothing to do with egg color.
But all the ones that are common DO lay brown eggs.
It's a matter of what people have chosen to produce, not what is genetically possible.

Places that produce white eggs typically use White Leghorns instead.

And California Whites

I've hatched red comets from Whole Foods eggs. They said fertile on the package. Or was it Nature Mart? Anyway, the trick is to get them as fresh as you can, check the 3 digit day they were collected on the carton, that way they've been refrigerated for the least amount of time. Mine were only 1 day old.

Like today is the 127th day of the year. so today's eggs would be 127 or 0127 plus a date on the carton for use by or packaged on. It's the 3 or 4 digit number you are looking for.

The experiment failed. No hatches.

That's a bit disappointing, but not really surprising.
Thanks for updating

Nope, not at all surprising. I will still try again here and there though.
