Hatching eggs from the store?

I spoke to Chino Valley Farms about this.

On average, their fertile eggs are between 7 and 30 days old when they hit the store. They have also been refrigerated.

You would have to get very lucky to have much success with them, and you would still not know what kind of chicks you might get.

BUT... it can still happen. The hatch rate might not be that good, but they have hatched in the past for other BYC'ers

Yes, it can happen. They got lucky.

You could get a dozen 7 to 10 day old eggs which hatch at whatever rate ..... and you could get dozens of eggs, none of which hatch.

There are a few threads on this .... I started one, others have too. Searching is good
