Long story not so short. I purchased 30 eggs from a large poultry farm my neighbours son works on. They aren't typical commercial layers, apparently they use the birds for meat and sell eating eggs on the side.
My neighbour arrived home late so popped them in the fridge so when I got them the next day placed them in my fridge. About 4 days later I took the remaining 6 out to use but used my chickens eggs instead (only 3 are laying as its autumn here) forgetting about the eggs for a further 3 days on the counter. I decided best not to eat as they had been refrigerated then left out, then thought hmm I wonder if they have roosters with hens if they were a meat bird (thinking dual purpose) so popped the 6 in the incubator with a few of my own just play about expecting nothing.
Today is day 3 and to my surprise I'm seeing development in a few eggs! Now to see what pops out. Bets are a dual purpose breed that lays cream, dual purpose crosses or cornish cross (broilers).
Eggs are the 6 outer light eggs
