Washed and recently fridged should I even bother? 40 min drive!

well if it was just 1 day in fridge i dont see why not i know your also not suppose to wash them, but i dont see why not set them, which would you like more deviled eggs or little devil chickies?

 

I would try setting them.....
I don't think one day would hurt too much.

 

set them. You'll get some to hatch.

If a Trader Joes egg will hatch, a day in a fridge shouldn't hurt anything.

 

Quote:x2 on this i got 7 trader joe eggs that went into lock down last night all are still alive and kicking, and they are thuroughly washed and refridgerated

 

I managed to hatch some eggs that were about 2 weeks old, and in the fridge. We had lost our favorite Rooster, and decided to try and hatch what we had left for eggs. Most of them developed, but the last 3 days only a few hatched. So, it's possible. Can't hurt to give it a try.

I'm running a test hatch now. We have new roosters, and none of the eggs were in the fridge. The oldest egg is 3 days old. We shall see if we get any better results.

Bluemoon

 

Ditto on going for it. I've hatched near frozen eggs, muddy eggs, refridgerated eggs, some will hatch. Not as easy or as likely as fresh never cold eggs, but some will.

 

I like chicks MUCH better than I like devilled eggs......

 

I say, go for it. I just recently hatched a refrigerated egg, it was in there for a week. That one was a day behind the others in hatching but is a strong and healthy chick.

 

Haha, it's amazing how durable fertile eggs are, apparently! It's good to know even fridge eggs have a chance.
