The Great Wal-Mart Organic Eggs Experiment (Pics)

[HenMaster]

I have read in the threads of Backyardchickens .com that someone had organic Wal-Mart eggs and put them in an incubator and they hatched. I had an hatching egg supplier back out of sending me a dozen eggs that I paid for 47 days prior. I had the space in the incubator for a dozen eggs and I decided to try and hatch the cold Wal-Mart organic eggs.

I bought one dozen organic eggs from Wal-Mart at $4.18 per dozen, and I numbered them #29-#40. I bought them at 0511 and they set out for 12 hours to warm up.

I did not play mix and match because I was in a hurry, but if it works the next hatch I will play mix and match looking for darker brown eggs.

I will post pics once I figure out how to and I will post the candling reports of “The Great Wal-Mart Organic Eggs Experiment at 7 and 14 days.

They are on the back two rows, the darker eggs.

I CERTAINLY HOPE you do well !!!

Ifn ya don't, it don't matter a "whit".

BUT, IF you only get ONE, you're a WINNER!
(my broody hen only got 1 of 6)

It'd please me wondrously to hear how you do.....Good or "Bad".

It'd be NICE if'n you'd take the time to let the rest of us know.....

It'd HELP ME, possibly others, to take such a "BOLD" step and FEEL like ya might HAVE a CHANCE at doing sumpthin' "just a little bit" unexpected !!!

GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!

Just wondering why you think they are fertile?

It says Organic but Eggland is an enormous company and I would be really surprised if they had roos.

I read that organic means fertal in some of the treads, somewhere, and that is all Wal-Mart had at 5:11am as I was late for work. I had the space in my bator and $4.18 it's worth the try.

If not it makes for a beautiful pic. LOL.

Did you read that thread where someone did hatch some from Safeway? I want to try it, but have duck eggs in the incubator. I am trying to figure out how my students could do it and work it into a science fair project. I'm not sure what I would do with the chickens if they hatched though.... I would have to find someone to take them.
The closer it get to winter the more difficult I would presume.

I bought the same brand that is in your picture. (I bought them to eat.) I checked each and every one of them ..... NONE were fertile.
Just a FYI.

I've been checking my free range egglands and they haven't been fertile either.

I know some people hatched out trader joe's eggs, but they are specifically labeled FERTILE EGGS.

I wonder what will happen?
