I have a health food store by my house, they sell fertile eggs. The owner of the store lives one mile from our house and supplies the eggs. I set 6, and 4 hatched..

Trader Joes Egg Hatching Club Anyone? Do you want to be a member?
Post a link to a thread about your project, show us a picture, or write a comment to join!

It seems there are lots of folks who have tried hatching eggs that were intended to be breakfast from Trader Joe's or other natural grocery stores. Some folks have posted about it here on BYC. How many other grocery store chicks or chickens are out there that were hatched out of fertile store eggs, or at least how many people have tried incubating store bought eggs?

I am member. I currently have one Trader Joes chicken, Joey. She turns 1 year old on Feb. 3rd and she is a leghorn hybrid.
Here is a link to the thread about it.

and kind of a video diary about it:

i have tried once with six eggs, but got nothing. i am going to try again with a group of twelve. figured i might as well fill up my incubator since it's going to be over half way full anyway whence i put my barred rock eggs in.

So I’m thinking of hatching Trader Joe’s eggs. I need to know, when is the right time to get the eggs? What eggs does Trader Joe’s offer? Is there other stores you can get free-range eggs from to hatch? I’d love to know more about this!

Hi! I hatched mine from a fertilized egg bought in the local grocery store here in Hawaii. The eggs were imported from California from a large egg producer in Petaluma California. These eggs were over three weeks old! Though best if you can get them as fresh as possible. These were red sex link eggs. The ones from Trader Joe’s primarily are a leg horn cross. I know people have purchased random eggs from local health food stores, you can get mixed chicks that way. There is a brand called happy eggs that has Marans and blue eggs as well. Someone currently is doing a thread on these. Good luck in your pursuit! It’s a pretty cool experience! Please post any chicks that hatch along the way!🥰
