June Hatch-A-Long

[gimmie birdies]

health food stores you will have a better chance. Most store eggs are not fertile. Also if you hope to do that with a store egg at least crack one and look for the fertility. If it is not with the one, then none are fertile.

The chick to the right is from a healthfood store fridge, but i do know the farmers they are one mile from my house. Her eggs from the fridge don't hatch real great even though they are fertile because she washes them first. I did buy her eggs knowing they were fertile, and knowing her white eggs are spitzenhaubens.

It’s a local store here in Hawaii not a big chain. They are advertised as fertilized eggs so hopefully some hatch, if not it’s just for fun anyway!
They were shipped over from California though so technically they are shipped eggs!

Oh that's so exciting! I have plenty of local hatching eggs available but no fertile eggs at the local grocery stores that I've seen. I always think it's fun to see what hatches when people do these experiments!

White eggs are fun! It's difficult to see in the images but I can already clearly make out the development on day 2!

Hoping to candle the store eggs on day 7 and see if anything is happening!

The littles (the eight chicks we have kept so far...) got to go outside today and really enjoyed the sunshine. Hubby and daughter are suppose to be building their coop as a father-daughter project. Not much progress yet...

I might have tapped on the incubator and heard a peep or three! Day 21 is tomorrow!

Photo?

Insert cute yellow chick picture. Smaller than all the rest, and slow. But eating and drinking and running from my hand.
