Look for their free range in green print (TJs) and a brand called Vital Farms at whole foods. 3 of the 6 I put in the bator Sunday look promising (VFs)

It doesn't have to say "Fertile" on it? My boyfriend looked for the ones marked fertile and they didn't have any. I'll have to go myself and see if I can find these ones. Thanks!

these are the non GMO ones from WF... Vital Farms also has a black box and I've found fertile ones in there too!

Great, thanks! I will take a look after the batch I have in the incubator is done.

These were from a road side egg stand another yellow and black are in incubator drying, and still waiting on one egg.

All three of mine are out and drying. Two are in the brooder under the premier 1 plate. The 3rd is still in the bator drying. I'll move her tonight. All are blue and yellow! Their daddy is a blue...

Blues are fun, I wanted this GLW so I could breed her with a blue and make blue laced red wyandottes

Don't forget to look in the refrigerator case of the organic section. I found fertile eggs in stop & Shop that way!

We have one small store in town and they have nothing like that. The nearest big store is an hour away and the nearest Trader Joe's is over an hour and a half away.

I am going to check them out after my current hatch is done. Long drive but worth it if I find something. I did just drive to Alabama after all for fertile eggs to put under my broody bantam.
