some questions about trader joe’s fertilized eggs

Our take

Have you ever pondered the idea of hatching fertilized eggs from Trader Joe's? It seems some adventurous souls have taken the plunge, tossing those cluck-tastic eggs into incubators just to see what might hatch. With reported success in hatch rates, I’m considering giving my broodiest hen a chance to spread her wings as a mother! After her last broody spell just a couple of months ago, she’s already showing signs of wanting to sit again—talk about determination! But before I invest the $6 for a dozen, I’m curious about a few things: Is it worth it, or are these eggs tricky to hatch even with all the right equipment? Also, does anyone know what breed these eggs are?

i’ve read a few accounts here of some of you guys throwing those fertilized (sold for food) eggs from TJs into an incubator just to see what comes out. apparently there has been some surprising success in hatch rates so i’ve been considering giving my broodiest hen a shot, cuz why not right? her last broody period was a couple months and she’s already showing signs of going broody again soon, so i know she’s determined to be a mother lol.

so, the questions: do we think it’s worth the $6 or whatever to buy a dozen just to see? or are they already tricky to hatch even with the whole incubator setup? and i haven’t been able to find any information on what breed they are. i assume white leghorns but if anyones hatched these out and has different info let me know?
