why are fertalized eggs more that the chick

That's great, but even the feedstore the other direction that gets straight runs charges $2 each for them, not less than $1! I suppose it doesn't matter since my dance card is pretty much full anyway, LOL!

Watch the paper Rural King or Tractor Supply normally have a "chick day" at the store, you even get a bag of feed free when you buy 50 or 100 chicks!

Nope and I've never seen a Rural King to my knowledge.

Outside side of the obvious (cashing in on the desire for eggs to hatch yourself and not expose birds to shipping stress and ensure how they are raised fed the first few crucial days)
I live in holland and hatching eggs here from breeders are simply almost non-existant. When you do find someone willing you pay top dollar. Why? Because those that breed and show forgo the opportunity to choose out the best birds from the hatch.
