For my birthday and graduation present in May I received a 58 egg incubator and just this week tested it out, it has been running since July 22 using eggs from a local farm. I candled them a few days ago to just check things out and 5 eggs were fertile! Today, July 28th, I checked to see all eggs had an air gap and 11/12 had good vein growth. The farm that my family friend got these eggs from said they had a rooster and it was unlikely ANY were fertile and gave me the littlest eggs just to make sure my incubator war turning properly. I leave soon for university and cannot keep the babies, do you think I should continue incubating them and then sell them to Tractor supply? Or do you think its best to stop incubation now if you think no one would like chicks?

I live in Grand Rapids Michigan and leave for University August 28th, if anyone in Michigan is interested in fertilized eggs message me or reply to this thread!

I don't believe that Tractor Supply buys eggs from private people - only from licensed hatcheries. For me, unless I could either keep them or KNEW I had homes for the chicks, I wouldn't proceed. Just my take...

TSCmay not buy them, but in sure people would buy chicks if you sold them for just a little bit

Thanks! Yea, I am just throwing this post out there in case anyone was looking for assorted chicks, If I don't find anyone in need of chicks or wants the eggs i'ma just feed them to the skunk outside.
 
I'm in East Tawas Michigan, I would take them if I could, but Grand Rapids is too far of a trip unless shipping is available.
