Store bought egg experiment

[BooBooMagoo]

Following! What breed would the trader Joe fertile eggs be? Anything specific or just random barnyard mix?

I am not sure.

How’s it all going?

I candled today. Nothing specific yet. I think I see a baby in eggs 5 and 7 though!

I candled again today. Eggs 6 and 7 have babies in them! I saw eyes and heartbeats!

A little girl I know has named they Scout and Snowy, if they make it.

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. View attachment 3324903
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.

Wow how do I follow you? I want to see what happens

I candled again today. Scout and Snuggles, (previously Snowy.) are both very alive and moving! About the same amount of growth in both. Scout is from a store bought egg but Snuggles was a fertilized egg from my Easter Egger. It is officially day 7. I candled all the eggs and checked for babies, every egg got candled twice. Scout and Snuggles are the only two babies sadly, but the fact that there are any babies is exciting! I threw out all the clear eggs so now Scout and Snuggles look so lonely in the incubator.

I do like experiments and am looking forward to the hatch.
