Store bought eggs hatch along anyone? I'm buying regular organic.

I have the same thing here where I live. None of the cartons said fertile but I bought 3 dozen with the most current date of Cage Free/Free Range eggs and put them in my incubator. None hatched...

WinklerFarm- sorry. :/ hope I didn't offend.

Cmom- thanks for your response to my bad egg question. Got to get on that issue tonight...

As a borderline animal activist: "cage free" is NOT the same as free range. Make sure your what you're buying says free ranged. They will have the best chances of being fertile. Cage free is just thousands of hens in a large warehouse as apposed to 6 hens per cage stacked 8 cages high. Neither groups ever see the light of day, a drop of rain, or a blade of grass. Let alone a rooster. :'(

The eggs I bought said Free Range. I cracked a couple open and they were not fertile.

[what did I do]

Awesome what did i do! I bet they are leghorns... I LOVE my leghorns! I have a brown leghorn roo that is magnificent and a white leghorn hen that is so friendly. Always wants to be in pictures with that close up look.

And on a worried note- I look for my bad egg today, successfully found it. I candled some eggs while looking and some of my store bought eggs look the exact same as they did on day 10 and its day 14. I looked at pictures of candled eggs and they actually look to be about day 5-7. Lots of veins, a small dark spot.
I am going to candle again tonight. I couldn't see very well because the room was light. I am really really worried all my eggs arent developing anymore. I had 2 thermometers in there but the larger more accurate seeming one broke an egg when they were turning so I took it out. I hope the small thermometer I got with the bator isn't wrong because that would mean for the last 10 days or so the temps haven't been right. I have had the temps at 99-100f and if i remember right there was about a 5 degree difference. Would 95f kill the eggs? UGH i hope I am wrong!!
