Now that is totally cool! I wonder if their is one of those stores anywhere near me? I am just outside Atlanta so I will have to check into that! Very cute babies!

 

[yellowdragon]

WOW. Thats cheaper than most hatching eggs. I never knew that would happen. Where these stored in the frig too?

 

[ginasmarans]

Cool! Don't give me any ideas,lol

 

[bayouchica]

That's way too cool.

I wonder what breed they are?
Congrats on the little ones

Congrats!

Thanks Josie, now gumpsgirls hubby will never be able to eat another egg.

This is what he will do when he finds out

OK so let me get this straight you went to the grocery store and to the egg section that is kept cold and bought eggs and then hatched them??

I thought once in the frig that they wouldnt be fertile anymore.???

Do you have to ask for fertile eggs at Whole Foods?

Yup, i did hatch from safeway eggs but the thing turned out to be a really mean roo so we gave him to our local feed store and theyre tryin to find a good home for him

CONGRATS!

Yup, mmajw, these were refrigerated chicken eggs in the egg case at the store. I think they are still fertile once cooled, viability just goes down.

You said it, yellowdragon, these are a lot cheaper than hatching eggs, but they are not going to be that much variety. I am still planning on what I should get next.

Sorry gumpsgirl and thechickcrew.

But you can remind hubby that these were marked as fertile. Just any egg from the egg case probably isn't going to hatch.

bayouchica, I had emailed the company, and they said that these were Leghorn and Hy-line, though I wonder if they a leghorn Hy-line. Since these are hybrids, who know what I will end up with.

justino15, your posts helped inspire me to try this, sorry SOnny ended up so aggressive. I think I have some roos too, but I am roo-paranoid.
