WOW! I'm surprised. Can't wait to see what breed they are.

SuperMarket eggs will not hatch. They are not fertile. The eggs would not survive if they were, because the temp. would be to cold for the embryo to survive. Eggs need to be stored between 50-70 degrees to avoid damaging the embryo.
 
The temperature doesn't always kill the embryo. I know it is far and few between but twice in my lofe i have gone to make scrambled eggs, cracked it open and got a veiny mess that made me not eat eggs for awhile. Definitely possible but highly unlikely if they are commercially bought eggs. I mean somewhere these people need to get hens by a rooster of the veins wouldn't grow.
 
can you hear me now? :

I agree. I can distinctly remember when I lived with my parents my sister was cracking open eggs we bought at the grocery store and there fell out a veiny mess in the pan. We didn't eat eggs for a LONG time.​
 
Lets not get too excited just yet and start hauling out all the smilies:

Go waaaaay back upthread and you'll find the title to be a bit misleading. If you came in here at the end, you wont know that he isnt hatching plain old store bought, supermarket eggs as the title implies. Thats what I tought, too. I got suckered into the same sort of "no can do" commentary as bugladyleah. After I had run on with a good case of mouth diarreah, he spilled the beans.

These are free-range, "happy hen" eggs from a health food store and locally produced by an organic, natural producer.

That changes things. Still cool, though.

Josie's Gocery Store Egg Hatch

There are other hatches in the archives if you go look for them.

It depends on the eggs but yes, Supermarket eggs can hatch. Eggs from Safeway can hatch.

Don't let this thread nose drive.
