I have three cream legbar eggs that started developing, it's now the end of day 14 and this is what they look like. To me, they don't look good but I've never incubated before and I'm not sure what I'm looking for...
Unfortunately, out of 13 shipped eggs, these are the only 3 that even started to develop at all, so I was really hoping to hatch them all, but I'm pretty concerned about their development as well as their air cells.

It looks like development started but stopped for some reason. What temperature and humidity was the incubator running at?
That's what I thought...I noticed the blood rings day 7 but I was hoping I was wrong. Humidity has been between 40 and 50 percent and temp has been 99.5-100
 
Yes, it’s forced air. It’s an Incuview. I calibrated everything and ran it before setting the eggs

Those are usually pretty trustworthy incubators. I would attribute it to shipping stress. I lost almost all of 2 shipments of CLs. Hatched 2 chicks out of 30ish eggs. :(

One good practice is to add a few local eggs, or your own eggs, to any shipped set. Then you'll have a better clue if its most likely the shipping or not.
