I was just wondering the health of the birds on the farm where the eggs were laid. Curiosity mostly! Thanks for responding!

My TJ chicken and roosters were just fine and healthy.

the nice thing about white eggs is they light up so well.

Giving this a try, couldn't find eggs marked fertile but got organic free range. 2 different brands. I cracked 2, one looked fertile. We'll see!

Let us know how they develop! I have 24 in the incubator and only have 5 or 6 developing. I guess that's better than none!

its very good for tj eggs.a 20% hatch rate is the norm

I just pulled 12 clears from the incubator, I opened them and none were growing. I get the feeling that the eggs also have a low fertility rate! Thanks for the encouragement, oz! I love this experiment, nobody in my family believed it was possible!
