Prior to incubation, fertilized eggs can be stored in a cool dark place (not the fridge) for up to seven (7) days. Temperatures above 65F may allow for embryo growth. Cold temperatures below 38F can damage germinal cell.

How can you tell if the eggs are fertile?

Do you have a Rooster living with Hens? If so, chances are, yes, the eggs will be fertile. If the hen is brooding, meaning she is sitting on top of the egg to keep it warm, then it's probably fertile, if not, then it's not fertile. In any case should you have a rooster and a hen together, and the hen lays an egg, and it doesn't brood, then you should keep the egg warm. I think to check just hold the egg up to a light lol.


Would your fertile hen eggs hatch just siting in hay?

No, fertile hen eggs need to be incubated at the proper temperature and humidity levels to hatch successfully. Simply sitting in hay will not provide the ideal conditions for the eggs to develop and hatch.


Should you remove non fertile eggs from laying hen?

Do all eggs laid have the potential to hatch?

The eggs have to be fertilized before being laid in order to "grow" a chick. No most hens eggs for the human food chain are infertile all eggs are screened for fertility (blood spot in egg if fertile) any fertile eggs are removed before packaging. Most battery eggs are infertile, there is more chance of a fertile egg from free range chickens.

Can you hatch a chick using an egg from the refrigerator?

No. The egg must be fertile, and being in the refrigerator for too long will kill any embryos. Eggs that are sold for consumption are never fertile, unless bought locally. Without a rooster the eggs will not be fertile, and batteries do not keep roosters, as roosters are not necessary for a hen to lay eggs.

Can store bought eggs be fertilized?

Most store bought eggs come from hens not socialized with roosters, therefore they cannot be fertile. If you mean somehow fertilizing them after purchase, no. Fertilization happens inside the hen during mating. The shell is then formed around the yolk and white, and is then laid by the hen. Once the shell is formed, it is too late for it to be fertilized.
