Can I hatch baby chicks from store-bought eggs?

No because they are likely not fertilized. Even if they have been fertilized, they wouldn't be able to hatch because they have gotten too cold. I would recommend finding a local chicken farmer who has a rooster in with the laying hens to fertilize the eggs. It would be best to be able to get the eggs straight from the hens so that they are still warm. They will then have a better chance of hatching.

If you live in an area where there is not anyone with a chicken farm, then you can order fertilized eggs online for fairly cheap. There are lots of websites to order them so I would just google search the breed of chicken that you want, and choose the website that looks the most legit.

These are all options, but it will take nearly a month for the eggs to hatch from the time that you put them into the incubator. Plus time for the eggs to arrive at your house. Usually I just go to the flea market and get some for a couple of dollars a piece. If you have this option than this would be the easiest way to go. Hope this helps!

Sorry buddy, nope. All major grocery chains buy eggs from major egg producers that may have 100,000 chickens or more but you will never find a rooster on the property. They don't want anyone finding a partially formed peep in their breakfast egg. Consider this if you do find fertilized eggs which you can, you will require an incubator to keep the egg at precisely the temp.a chicken egg needs to be until it hatches. Now you have a helpless peep with it's mouth open wanting food. Do you know how to feed it until it's old enough to run around and eat chicken feed on it's own? If all goes well you wind up with a chicken running around your place. Seems like an awful lot to go through just to see if you can hatch an egg. You can, but not a grocery store egg.

I'm sorry but that's no how it works. Eggs that come from the grocery store come from an egg farm that strictly have only hens. Hens are female chickens that lay eggs- those are the eggs you eat. If you want to get fertilized eggs and incubate them, you are going to need to go to a country store that has fertilized eggs in the spring- or better yet just start off with little chicks that have already hatched :)

If you mean at a grocery store, then probably not. Those eggs are usually unfertilized, so there is no chick inside in the first place; they are meant solely for eating. Depending on where you live, eating eggs with chicks inside of them is either considered a delicacy or gross; either way, probably not something you would find in a grocery store.

You could go to a farming store or a local farm and try to pick some up. Depending on where you live, there are lots of possibilities. I don't have any farmers in my area who sell eggs, but they do sell live chicks after they hatch. You may have something similar in your area. Tractor Supply or similar stores may also be able to point you in the right direction.

Again, this is totally dependent on where you live. Research any local farms and see what you can find!

Lol, no. Eggs you buy at the store are not fertilized by a male, they are just laid by a hen and taken away. If you want eggs to simply eat then you need to get some female chickens (hens) and build or buy a proper chicken coop for them outside. The hens will eventually lay eggs for you to collect in the mornings and eat if you are feeding the hens properly and providing them an appropriate living structure. If you want to have baby chicks born, then you need to add a male chicken (rooster) or two and leave the eggs laid by the hens alone. But again, you must be feeding them a proper diet and have a proper coop for them to live and breed in, and lay eggs and hatch them in.

No, don't buy eggs in the store and try to hatch them, lol. They will just rot.

No it will nor work. The eggs must be fertilized first then kept warm. Store bought eggs have been refrigerated for days before they hit the store shelf. I do know of a lady in Vietnam who bought some duck eggs for the new year celebrations. She hid them in a cupboard to keep them safe from the rest of the family so they could eat them at the New Years celebration. Any how she forgot about them until one day she heard strange noises coming from her cupboard. She opened the door and was greeted by six little ducklings.

Look at the website for Murray McMurray. They are the foremost chicks-by-mail company. You can order fertile eggs or newly-hatched chicks from them. It's absolutely amazing how they can successfully send baby birds through the US Post Office with nearly a 100% survival rate. They have been doing this for 100 years.

You can't hatch chicks from store-bought eggs. They've been in a fridge for way too long if they were fertilized, which they most likely aren't, and they wouldn't be alive anyways.

No it won't work. In kindergarden my friends tried to hatch a store bought egg and they brought one to school (not boiled) and tried to keep it warm. Eventually they ended up dropping it on the floor and it made a mess lol

No. The eggs in the store are about a month old and have been refrigerated. They probably have not been fertilized either. As you know nothing about raising chickens, I suggest that you start with a few year-old hens. I trust that you do know that you need a coop and a fenced (and covered) area for them.
