   A Fertile egg! Will it hatch? No, these eggs cannot hatch since they have been moved, fresh from the hens nest into the cold temperate of a refrigerated cooler.
   This is not a hatching egg. In order for an egg to hatch, it must be kept above 50 degrees until placed into the incubation temperature of 99 to 101 degrees. This temperature of approximately 100 degrees must be maintained for 3 weeks in which time the chick would develop. And so consequently, with the cooling of our eggs to less than 50 degrees, you cannot hatch these eggs.
   Perhaps the fertile egg is the most controversial item Nature’s Yoke offers. And while we are neither doctors nor scientists, we cannot claim absolute benefits from this egg. But we do offer it for customers requesting it.
   Why would folks want to buy a fertile egg? According to some claims and thoughts, the hormones are more balance in an egg that is fertile. Others like the more old-fashioned way of egg production when the hens and roosters would have been housed together in the open barnyards. Perhaps someday the claims will be studied and documented where we can declare an added value, but not so for the present.
   We make not claims as to superior properties or health benefits in the fertile eggs. We know of no proven studies at this point to which to make such claims. But again, we wish to produce products that our customers are requesting and our goal is to provide the best of its class that we can.
   The market for this egg is mainly in the health food stores but also supermarkets, have found customers looking for the product as well. Some upper-scale supermarkets have found fertile eggs to be in great demand. And as more folks are looking to the health food buying trends, we can expect to see this item moving up in sales all around.
   And the cage free and veggie fed attributes add more of a selling dimension besides the fertility issue of these eggs.
   This ½ dozen pack is the only fertile egg we offer. None-the-less, with the reasonable price on this pack, it will be within range of other fertile egg options. It is certainly worth giving the small space it takes on the shelf to give it a fair try. And many markets do not stock fertile eggs. Here’s your opportunity to draw more customers into your store for your dairy department!
   This item is not Kosher certified due to the eggs being fertile eggs.
