Going to try and hatch grocery store chicken eggs!

[babyratt]

I know the chances of this working is very very low but its an exciting and fun little experiment! I am currently in Denmark and bought some organic free range chicken eggs. There are 6 and they were refrigerated so this should be interesting! Right now I have them sitting to reach about room temperature before I put them in the incubator. So they will go in today and I will candle around maybe the 7th day maybe sooner. Has anyone else tried this? Or even had success? any advice, tips and or tricks!?

I love science experiments! I'm working on peach trees from the pit. Hard but more successes than your endeavor. If you succeed, I'm going to try too.

It’s a 7 hour drive!

My mistake. I thought you lived in Denmark. But you only told you were there a few days ago.
Where do you live then? 7 hours from Denmark includes a lot of countries.

I’ll definitely check it out when I’m back home!

Soooo, just out of curiosity I took a look at my store bought eggs (chickens aren’t laying any yet since the are only 6 weeks old ) . And I’m almost positive i seen a bullseye. Does that necessarily mean that they egg is fertilized? I would have taken a picture but my hands were gross and no where near phone. 2 out of the 3 I used had it but I don’t know about the 1st one I cracked because I didn’t think about it until the 2nd egg.

From what I read the bullseye is a common sign of a fertile egg!

UPDATE: Day 5 for the first batch of chicken eggs and DAY 4 for the quail eggs and second batch of chicken eggs. Unfortunately I don’t see any development within these eggs. Surely by day 5 I should see at least something but nope. That’s okay though it was a fun experiment and I’m definitely going to try again! Stay tuned for that. This time I’ll try Demeter eggs people have been recommending!

So this is a bullseye??? I’m almost positive every one of the eggs out of the 18 carton had this. It’s free range brown eggs from one of my local stores.

Edit: never really bothered to look at eggs for this before having chickens cause I never thought they could be babies. So I really don’t know if this is what I actually need to look for
