Store bought egg experiment

[Silkiesaz]

I just bought a dozen of organic, pasture raised brown eggs from the store. I had heard people talking about store bought eggs hatching so I decided to try. I cracked one egg and it was fertile.
I replaced the cracked egg with one of my Easter egger eggs and numbered all the eggs. I got the incubator set up and put them in.

Feel free to follow along, I will post weekly updates when I candle and am planning on updating every Wedensday.

You've got my attention.....I really like good old fashioned experiment! It speaks to my inner nerd.

Indeed. It is definently going to be interesting. I can't wait to see if there are some babies.

It definitely would be awesome if babies came out of this!

I am looking forward to following along! I just did this with Trader Joe's "fertile eggs" and out of 12 eggs, one hatched overnight and 2 more have pipped. I was semi-unprepared because I wasn't sure if any of them would hatch but lo and behold! Now I am scrambling to get ready for these 3 chicks because I'm set up for outdoor chicks and it is too cold for them outside.

Congrats on your babies! Hopefully mine will hatch too!

I have a store that sold local eggs. I got 34/36 hatch rate. The reason I set so many is I didn't think they would all hatch. I also check the health food store for eggs to set. In both cases I know which farm's eggs hatch the best. Just today I bought eggs from a neighboring state because I wanted certain eggs. But hatching is fun.
