I kept 5 chicks hatched last year from Trader Joe's fertile eggs. They are a month over a year old now and even when I thought they had slowed down, they were actually hiding the eggs in the shed!

This year I hatched eggs from Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. I can't tell which chicks are from TJ's or Whole foods and this year I hatched 32 out of 45 set. It looks like I have 16 pullets from the hatch. I will be selling some of them but will use some of them to replace some older hens.

The Trader Joes near me says they are not fertilized eggs. Do they have to be labeled that way? We have a Natural Grocers, but their eggs do not say that.

If they are fertile, they usually say so on the carton.

Not all trader joes has fertile eggs. The box will say fertile on it and there will be a three digit julian date on the carton for the date packed.
