First egg questions...

[feather16]

Finally got my first egg, posted a bragging post but then realized I have a few questions...

I have a rooster, who I’ve seen mount the girls. So should I just assume each egg I get is fertile? And how do I care for the eggs now? Any differently when it’s a fertile egg? I’m new to this all, first chickens and my first egg. Haha, thanks guys!!

Are you planning on hatching chicks?

Depends on what you wanna do with the eggs if you wanna eatem clean it up and eat it if you wanna hatch keep in a controled setting around 60 degrees (F). And store them for no longer than 2 weeks then attempt to hatch them.

Wonderful, thank you! I wasn’t sure about refrigeration and whatnot. I don’t think I want to hatch any just yet.
