Pullet eggs

[Andora]

My girls are laying little pullet eggs now. I cracked one open and they are definitely fertile. I have to get rid of my roos tomorrow, since they are crowing like crazy and I live in the city. Is it possible to hatch those pullet eggs? They're ping pong ball sized. Would something bad happen if I incubated them? I'm thinking they probably wouldn't be big enough to allow a chick to develop fully...

I've hatched pullet eggs before. It works it's just not as high percentage as full sized eggs. Give it a go.

I have to find someone to let me borrow their incubator.

What about the ones that have been in the fridge for a few days??

Refrigeration does decrease the hatch odds but I've hatched both refridgerated and near frozen 34-36 degree eggs so it's possible.
