Fertile Grocery Store Egg Hatching Experiment

[coleson12]

Hey everybody, I am going to do a little science experiment on hatching grocery store eggs. And Need Some Help. I am going to try all different kinds (cage free, range free, organic, brown, white, etc.). I have called all my local Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's and none sell eggs marked FERTILE, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any types of eggs at the grocery stores (any of them, food lion, target, walmart, whole foods, etc.) that may have a good possibility of hatching. Would Range Free Give Me The Best Chance? Thanks

I did the same expirement in 6th grade!

I got my fertile eggs from trader joes and all 4 hatched! You might want to try TJ's but if they don't have it I don't know, I had the same problem when i went to get my eggs and no other store had it but TJ's. Hope you find some!

The ones I found just said FERTILE if they don't say fertile they are likely to explode in the incubator, but as long as you candle them and toss the ones that aren't growing you should do fine. here is a link to show you how to candle.

Crack them open ... if they have a "bullseye" ... they are fertile, and you can try some of the "un-cracked" ones ...
