    Question: Can you hatch refrigerator eggs, especially if they already have chicks forming inside?

    Okay, so. Hi. My Aunt-in-Law gave us turkey eggs to eat and she has a tom with her lady turkeys, so definitely fertilized. I can also confirm the babies forming because she tends to leave her eggs out on the counter, unwashed mind you, and the weather has been very hot, one of the eggs I cracked...
