What should I do?? Suggestions?

Hi guys, I’m doing this science project where I have to hatch chicken eggs from Trader Joe’s. So far, 11 out of 12 all have a embryo forming and veins, today, the eyes have started to show. It’s been the 6th day and I know that all 11 probably won’t hatch or make it... I want to keep maybe around 2 or 4(where I live, the max is 4). But if more hatch I’m worried about what I should do. I think I may want to give them to a local farm of some sort, however I haven’t been able to find any info... if anyone could help me that really would be awesome!!!

The saying is "Don't count you chickens before they hatch."

You will need to try to sell, give away or butcher extras. Wait and see how it goes first.

Like old hen says, see how you go. When your hatch happens and you end up with too many, try putting a post on Craigslist. There are usually people looking for free chicks/chickens for their own little projects. Good luck with your project. Please post your results, I am so fascinated by the whole Trader Joe's fertilized egg thing.
