It's from a store called Trader Joe's (a chain predominantly in the west, I believe) and there's a forum thread on BYC with a club of those that have hatched their fertile eggs. Kind of a novelty, kind of a challenge. Those that live in CA have a better hatch rate than those of us elsewhere. I had 3 of 12 that formulated this time, but only one hatched. Luckily I had other eggs going so the chick is not lonely. I usually use the TJ eggs as filler in the incubator. At $2.99/doz it's the cheapest fertile eggs out there!

Thats pretty cool. They sell fertile eggs at auctions cheep here but I'm leery of any illness.

I'm stuck on 100lbs for $30... Think I buy 50lbs for $20....

Then I can't complain

 

[Amberjem]

oh go ahead

 

[hennible]

Lol

Yeah... I just can't decide... That chicken has a very broad beak, kind of just makes it look masculine....

That is for sure a girl at 6 weeks. Boys comb would be bright red and much bigger. All that is is going to be a girl with a large comb like a leghorn.

It's cold here already and we had a blizzard last weekend, so... bring on the cold. I'm ready.

I agree....except for bringing on the cold...i hate cold

 

[superchemicalgirl]

Maybe this will make you feel better... leghorn 6 weeks (both girls, and dirty passed out)

Holy wow, that's an obvious difference. Those passed out birds look awesome...
