[Firearia]

I don't know about now a days. But my father's friend did a science experiment when he was a kid. He bought store chicken eggs that were kept in a fridge. Over half of them hatched.

i opened the door this morning one chicken didnt go out and they always run out when in open the door i go in the coop and one of my pullets is broody

so i watch her for 10 minutes and her sister just wont stop going into there and then her sis plops down next to her and goes broody too i couldnt believe so im going to put the store bought eggs under them and what ever else they lay they can set on

Well mine have been in the fridge a week here too, and who knows how long at walmart, but why not!? I gotta at least give it a shot. I'm glad some of you are planning this experiment with me, at least if mine don't work out, we have others to update on their experiments too! This thread should be fun!

Oh and I have a growling silkie here in the nest box, maybe I will throw a couple in there too. She has been broody with no eggs forever and I gave her a duck egg recently, but it's a dud.
