I don't think you will find commercially produced fertilized eggs. They would have to be shipped/stored in an incubator or the chick inside would die and rot...

Do some research for local farms. I met a guy in my local fish club that breeds chickens. He gladly gives me eggs/chicks when I drive out in the sticks to see him.

I consider myself quite fortunate to have found someone who will give them to me for free, but there is a farm much much closer to me that will sell them fairly cheap. He has a sign posted by the road in front of his (rural) house that says "Fresh Eggs". He thought I was weird when I asked for fertilized eggs and he had to go collect them for me when I asked... but he sold them to me for the same price as his unfertilized eggs ($3 per doz, or 2 doz for $5).

I spend $5 in gas to go see the guy that gives them to me free But he has a cool farm and is a cool guy so it's worth going out once in a while.

[QUOTE="Toby_H, post: 70830, member: 246"] I don't think you will find commercially produced fertilized eggs.

He gladly gives me eggs/chicks when I drive out in the sticks to see him.

I spend $5 in gas to go see the guy that gives them to me free :P But he has a cool farm and is a cool guy so it's worth going out once in a while. [/QUOTE]
