Store bought eggs to hatch?

[Bunnybryn]

That's cool that there is a FB group. When I did this experiment it was specifically big box store eggs. I know I can get local eggs and even get guaranteed fertile.. but that wasn't the experiment. If I feel up to it next year I'll give it a whirl again.

It's definitely an exciting process! I'm so bummed the chick died. When I heard the peeping this morning I couldn't believe it actually hatched. Fun experiment!

I would look for pastured over organic. Organic pastured would be ever better. Free range organic, or simply organic doesn't mean much. Simply means they are packed in a barn, and able to "free range" around the barn rather than trapped in battery boxes. Unlikely their is a rooster in that equation. Pastured means they have to be kept on a pasture, some boxes will say something like 103 sq ft. per hen. Which is pretty awesome.
