INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Looking for opinions about something... I ordered 27 eggs to incubate. The hatchery guarantees 80% fertility. I candle the eggs after 7 days and 8 are completely clear with no signs of development, while the other 19 are all very visibly developing (the eggs are white and I can see embryos and veining just smaller then the size of a half dollar). I crack open the 8 eggs with no sign of life, sure enough, normal egg. NO development at all and NO sign of fertilization. I call the hatchery and was told (in a way that made me feel like I was a clueless idiot) that I cant tell if the eggs are fertile after 7 days of incubation. I shouldnt have opened the eggs, I should have put them back in the incubator because... heres the good part... IT CAN TAKE THE EGGS LONGER THAN 7 DAYS TO START DEVELOPING. I told her there was no indication of the eggs being fertile and no development AT ALL but I was told again I should have put them back in, they just hadnt started yet. Ive personally never experienced spontanious development after a week in an incubator but what are your thoughts/experiences?

Well, when I went out to feed just before five, she was standing up and started to eat some which was great. I turned my poor girl into a gagging pincushion last night. I told her I was so sorry, but I wanted her to get better. She got shots or Thiamine, LA300, B complex, and a wormer. Them sixty cc's or red cell, and sixty cc's of DE paste. Tonight she gets two shots and a mix of the DE and red cell which if I had not already had the DE mixed she would have gotten last night. I hope she will be even better when I get home.

Hi everyone. I live in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire where we have rolling green hills around us. We are 40 miles north of London, which takes an hour to get to by train. I've been reading the forum for ages and have found some really useful information on it. I've got 5 hens in my garden and 4 chicks hatched a week ago. It was my first chicks so I've been really excited about them.

I normally dont either but their 'guarantee' is only good for 14 days after you receive your eggs so I wanted to be sure before asking for the refund. I also told her they packaged 4 of my eggs upside down and 3 were very noticably cracked but she had nothing to say about those (I picked up the order so this one wasnt on the post office).
