What color eggs did you hatch them out of?

What color eggs did you hatch them out of?

I hatched brown eggs from whole foods and white eggs from trader joes. The difference would be the color of the rooster. TJs was using White hens and brown roosters. Whole food was the opposite.

The thought is that you would want to easily tell the rooster to hen ratio by the color.

They were Hyline chickens. https://www.hyline.com/varieties

Um I am not sure! I have never actually been in Trader Joe's in my life honestly. But someone posted a picture of a carton that said fertile eggs in this thread. @penny1960 did you get the fertile eggs in a different section than the regular eggs or were they in the same section as the normal eggs?

Not all TJs sell fertile eggs. If they do they are in the egg section.

I would check the egg produce section. My Korean market has quail eggs. I’m tempted to buy them to incubate them. LOL
I saw a youtuber using the same brand of quail eggs that Korean market sells.
