If you are buying eggs labeled FERTILE, they keep them out of cages with roosters. Usually a little more expensive. I think people buy them to ensure that they are not buying eggs from caged hens. People on mt local thread hatched some from Trader Joe's. He was really happy with the hens from them. Some special Leghorn type.

see the one next to it ? I dont know what color that is..

I think that is from an olive egger that doesn't have very blue shells. Kind of looks like a dark taupe. Khaki-brown? I like it! But it's still not as cool as that grey one.

Dana, that is cool.

after this experiment with the incubator, I will be looking for a hen to go broody, so the kids can see a mama hen hatch and raise some chicks.
