Where can you buy one or two fertilized chicken eggs for under 20?

For just one or two viable eggs the best place to go is a local feed outlet and post a notice asking for fertilized eggs. Most farms have a rooster among the flock and would be glad to sell or even give you an egg or two. If you want a certain breed just ask for those with that breed. You will pay for hard to find breeds but most are well below the $20.00 price for even a dozen.
Another way to get them is to contact your local 4H club and ask for the poultry club leader. Leaders are usually farmers who have or know a lot about the farmers in the area who raise chickens.

Are unfertilized chicken eggs OK to eat?
Yes, If you had a fertilized egg it would be developing into a chick. Unfertilized eggs are the ones you buy in the stores.
Do chickens have periods?
No. Only a few mammals have what is termed menstruation or a "period", meaning a flow of ejected uterine lining and blood. Since chickens never eject their uterine lining, chickens do not menstruate. The egg contains a chicken ovum and yoke sack. If fertilized, the ovum will become a fetus, then a chick.
Can you hatch a chicken from caged eggs?

Chickens will sit on a ceramic egg. They have no way to tell that the egg is bad.

The connection between this and the 'savings' meaning isn't exactly clear. It may be that the idea was that the egg that was put into the nest could be later retrieved, after the hen had laid.
Are unfertlized chicken eggs good to eat?
Yes, of course they are! In fact, ALL the eggs you buy in the grocery store are unfertilized. The only difference between fertilized and non-fertilized eggs is the tiny drop of sperm. It adds an infinitesimal amount of protein. BIG on the downside: fertilized eggs go bad quicker.

Why do eggs that we eat not fertilize and produce a chicken?
The eggs you buy at the grocery store are not fertilized. In a large egg producing facility roosters are not needed and are culled prior to the time the hens begin to lay eggs, only hens means no fertile eggs. If your eggs have been purchased at a rural farm stand then it is likely that they have been fertilized but unless you artificially incubate them there is no chance they will develop into chicks.

No. First of all, the eggs you buy at the supermarket are unfertilized. They have never been fertilized by a male chicken (a rooster) and thus cannot grow into baby chickens, any more than a woman's egg cell can grow into a baby without a man's sperm. Even if they were fertilized, they have been stored at very cold temperatures, so by the time you got them, the chicken embryos would be long dead.
Do chickens have periods?
