Yeah, I'd love free eggs too... too bad the feed store doesn't give out free feed.

Try posting on your local Craigslist. You may be able to find someone local who will sell eating eggs. If they have a rooster and you ask them not to wash the eggs you can incubate them.

My local feedstore sells eggs for $1.75 a dozen. I get them unwashed and then incubate them. I've had good hatches that way.

. You really need to consider the cost of feed if you can't afford to buy eggs. My chickens are pigs and even though they free range they go through a lot of feed. Also, you will need to wait about 20 +/- weeks to even get eggs from them. I would suggest going to a local farmstand, most of them have fertilized eggs and the cost would be negligible, I think my local feed store sells them for $2 a dozen. Best wishes

I agree that if you can't afford the price of hatcing eggs you probably aren't going to be able to afford to feed the chickens that hatch. Feed is a big expense anymore unfortunately.

You can also go to your local feed store and buy pullets ready to lay any day for between 8-10 dollars and then you don't have the long wait for chicks to get to that size. Plus what you'll save on electricity. It's actually a lot cheaper!
