Generally no, however, some stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's sell "fertilized" eggs that people have had luck hatching.

Some of these posts are hilarious. It is entirely possible that you've eaten fertilized eggs before, and there's no federal law requiring commercially sold eggs to be unfertilized. Most commercial operations don't intermingle roosters and hens, but occasionally smaller free range and organic operations have a rooster or two mixed in with the hens. Local farm eggs are the most likely to have a rooster in the mix, so you might be eating fertilized eggs if you buy local. There's no difference in flavor, nutrition, etc if they're fertilized (despite some people believing fertilized eggs have more vitamins, protein, etc).
As for hatching grocery store bought eggs, your chances of success are astronomically low. Even if the eggs were somehow fertilized, refrigeration will kill the embryo.

This 18 egg incubator is aimed at hatching fertilized eggs, with auto turning, temperature and humidity control, and a transparent dome for watching progress. It has been used successfully for chickens, quail, ostrich eggs, and even balut style eggs, and the larger capacity is handy for hobby batches. The main caution is that grocery store eggs usually will not hatch, especially if they have been washed or refrigerated, so fresh local fertilized eggs work better. Temperature setup also matters, with 99.5 degrees and a steady calibration check coming up often.

Common Questions (5)

  • Usually no. Refrigeration typically kills the embryo, and store eggs are often washed and already too old for good fertility; fertilized eggs from local sources or specialty stores are the better option.

    marvelljonesmarvelljonesmarvelljonesSociablePiranha160

  • Yes. It has been used successfully for chicken hatches, and quail eggs have also been hatched in it. The transparent dome lets you monitor the eggs during incubation, and the 18-egg capacity is enough for a larger hobby batch.

    jeremiahjohnsondiamondzPetShapeAcclimate

  • Use fresh fertilized eggs from a local source, ideally within about 10 days of being laid. Local eggs have a much better hatch rate than shipped eggs, and some people have had luck with fertilized eggs from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, or eBay farm sellers.

    ferradinhodesynergywhiteorchidsTaco

  • 99.5°F works best. The unit's preset 100.4°F can run a bit high, and one stable setup measured about 2°F lower at the bottom than the displayed setting.

    whiteorchidsSpideym8pingpingpang

  • Not always. Several shoppers reported the promo code failing at checkout with messages like "not working" or "not valid."

If you wanted to try to hatch eggs, try the quail eggs. Even the ones you buy at the supermarket seem to have one or two that will hatch out of a batch. Of course then you are stuck with a live quail.
My friend has a chicken facility in Macon Georgia and his friends are always pestering him for eggs. Those at these commercial farms have chickens that grow much bigger. Anyway, he gives them a few eggs, they hatch and the people don't have the heart to kill the chickens, so they keep them as pets. This costs money, attracts, foxes, hawks and so on and bottom line, the whole endeavor is a costly mess.

It's easier to just buy chicks, narrow it down to have hens and one rooster and most if not all your eggs will be fertile. But buying chicks or eggs, you may end up with quite a lot of roosters. It is not economical to raise hens for eggs in CA for me, their lay feed and upkeep costs more than buying eggs at costco. They're slightly healthier, but you can't really feel that, but you do feel when you have to clean out the coop etc etc. Most places you can't have a rooster due to noise ordinance and limits. It's quite a rabbit hole to go down. You build the coop, you built the lay boxes. You buy the feeders, you realize they're dropping a lot of feed, and you get rats, you might DIY a feeder, then you buy the fancy feeder they step on for $150. Then you buy different products to sprinkle in the coop to reduce the smell. It's super dusty. It's all worse if you have limited yard space, and no roaming space. Maybe because i didn't hold them much when they were chicks they always ran away from me when I went into the coop. We finally had to give them up based on the work and cost. Also not all hatched chicks make it. Some will hatch weak and dont make it, or if they're extra wobbly you need to isolate them or they get trampled. But then they're alone so they cry. You do observe the whole circle of life though. My flock killed 2 teen chickens I introduced once....
was thinking about hatching eggs in the backyard. but the rat and coop things. Yikes.

I run a 4-H poultry club. Folks, heed this very wise person's words. My son barely breaks even on his chickens every year, which he auctions off to local farms, and that's only because these farmers are philanthropic and pay way more than they should for his hens. We'd otherwise be in the hole a couple hundred every year. It's hard for me to not scoff when well meaning friends tell me how much I could make selling eggs.

I've had backyard chickens since 2017, so almost 10 years. A lot of fun. I buy chicks at the Co-Op and Rural King and Tractor Supply and an occasional breeder. Places are good at selling females when they say, but out of the probably 50 chicks I've bought, I've ended up with 5 roosters. Roosters are cool and badass, strutting around the yard and protective of the flock when they're not mounting a hen for a quickie. They can be aggressive to people and the hens, but mostly they're just loud. The internet says the average rooster crows 15 times per day, but they crow more like 15 times an hour. Can't stand it...it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. I tried to put up with the crowing long enough to have one of the hens raise a clutch of eggs, but no luck. Either the hens don't go broody enough to sit on the eggs, or the rooster has been so aggressive that the hens pause their laying all together out of either fear or protest. Wanted to go the au natural way, but after several stretches of trying, I've given up on the hatching process and just pay for chicks when I'm ready. At least you can be more selective and certain of breeds, and I'm into collecting more fancy and rare breeds. Try to keep around 14-18 hens at any given time, and try to raise 6-8 chicks each spring...have 4 Polish and 4 Russian Orloffs almost two months old growing right now. We get 12-15 eggs each day, enough to keep us and the neighbors and family supplied. There's no money in selling eggs or chickens...the cartons alone are around 75c-$1 for an empty carton, which is crazy. You can barely give away a rooster of any breed, and a laying hen typically goes for $20-30 depending on breed. You have that much in feed to raise a chicken for 9-10 months, and by time they're an adult you kinda have grown attached to them as a pet. So just do it for the fun of it. They're fun and comical to have around, and they'll follow you around and let you pick them up for a quick pet and scratch. Hens are quiet and friendly and they're beneficial to the yard if you let them free-range a couple hours a day. Most chickens live 7-8 years, but I have none of my original two flocks left. My oldest are a White Leghorn and a Rhode Island Red from 2019. They've aged past their laying years, so now they're just pets. Sad part is chickens die easily from any number of things...eggs get stuck in their tract, food gets sour in their digestive tract, an injury that doesn't heal, mites, flu, the occasional predator, and any number of unknown causes...sometime they're lethargic and sickly and give you a chance to help them heal, but mostly it's case of them being healthy one day and finding one dead the next. It's hard to find meds when they're sick because it's either mostly ineffective over the counter herbal remedies or pay $250 for a vet and a prescription that might or might not work. I find it hard to pay that much on a sick chicken. But overall, the majority of hens are healthy, and if you give them fresh water and decent feed and keep them happy with clean hay and treats from kitchen leftovers and leafy scraps, they'll live a long and happy life. I turned my kids old tree house into their coop. Took it down and out of the tree and sat it up 2-3 feet off the ground under the tree. Put roosting bars inside at the top, built a shelf inside as a laying/nesting box, and added a little opening with a ramp out to their run, which is a secure and attractive 200 sqft outdoor space enclosed with 3ft high metal wire. It adds a lot of classy and lively character to the backyard. They stay in their coop and run all the time, except for when we let them out a couple hours before dark to free range in the yard. Good luck with incubating and hatching...I prefer the easier route of buying hatched chicks.

I think a lot of people are unaware that eggs have to be fertilized in order to hatch. 99% of the eggs you buy in store for consumption aren't fertilized. Chickens can lay eggs without fertilization. Basic 5th grade knowledge folks
