I think it would be an interesting way to get variety in your flock - or even start a flock from scratch if you don't mind surprises and/or mutts ;-) I don't know how long they can be refrigerated and still successfully hatch - but it would be a fun experiment.

I had no idea. Thanks for sharing that with us. Give the dogs a hug for me! Have a blessed week! That is very interesting about the fertilized eggs hatching after being in the fridge. I had no idea.
