The eggs that you get in a grocery are not fertile eggs. To produce a fertile egg, a rooster (male chicken) must be present and in grocery store production facilities this is simply not the case.
Can you buy fertilised eggs?
The price of a fertilised egg varies from breed to breed. The most expensive eggs tend to be for rare breeds and breeds that lay only a few eggs. The price of eggs is normally between £0.80 - £2.00 per egg. Most breeders will sell you a half dozen eggs.
Should I buy fertile eggs?
Fertile eggs are laid by hens that have mated with roosters, so these eggs can be incubated and developed into chicks. Buying fertile eggs at the grocery store doesn't mean you'll end up with chicks, though, because refrigeration stops the growth process. Worth any extra cost? No.
Can shop eggs be fertile?
It's unlikely, but not impossible. Most commercial egg farms have strictly all-female flocks because male chickens aren't needed for egg production and aren't suitable for meat either (chickens raised for meat are a different breed).
Why don't we eat fertilized eggs?
Fertilized eggs are fine to eat, in fact some people claim they healthier than unfertilized eggs, although we've never seen any data supporting that. (Let's be honest; if the fertile egg is fresh and unincubated, you're going to have the addition of just half a cell.)
How do you get fertile eggs?
If a sexually active rooster is placed into a flock of hens, fertile eggs can be produced by the second day after introducing the rooster. If mating occurs within a short period, the next egg yolk released by the hen's body can be fertilized.
How do farmers know if an egg is fertilised?
This is called candling the eggs. This step normally takes place during the 9th day of incubation. We use a Brinsea machine to candle the eggs. This allows you to pop the egg on the stand, cover it over with the lid and look through the eye piece to see if there is any fertilisation and development of the egg.
How long can you keep fertile eggs before incubating?
Storage time
Storing eggs for at least three days helps prepare them for incubation; however, fresh and stored eggs should not be set together. It is best to incubate eggs within 7 to 10 days of their being laid. Hatchability decreases rapidly when eggs are stored for more than 10 days.
What percentage of supermarket eggs are fertilized?
The vast majority (87 percent) of eggs produced in the United States are unfertilized table eggs. These eggs are produced for consumption and are what you will find sold at the grocery store. Conversely, only 13 percent of eggs are fertilized, or hatching eggs, which are used for producing chickens.
What brand of eggs are fertile?
Nurti-Fresh Fertile

Are infertile eggs healthy?
Hens still produce eggs without marriage as long as their breeders give them food well, while fertilized eggs can be hatched because the males fertilized them. “Fertile and infertile chicken eggs are all safe to eat. The only difference is whether there is sperm or not in it,” Dwi explained.
Are brown eggs fertilized?
In reality, eggs with these brown spots are not fertilized and are formed or picked up as a part of the natural egg-creation process. Often mistaken for each other, these spots are actually quite different.
Can you buy eggs from supermarket and hatch them?
For a supermarket egg to hatch it must have been fertilised. And the vast majority of eggs on supermarkets' shelves, whether they are from ducks or chickens, will not be fertilised. This is because in commercial egg production male and female chicks are separated at about a day old.
Are commercially sold eggs fertilized?
During their exploration of chicken embryology, youth learn that for a chicken to develop from an egg it must be fertilized. Most eggs sold commercially in the grocery store are from poultry farms and have not been fertilized. In fact, laying hens at most commercial farms have never even seen a rooster.
