We just ordered 24 eggs from my pet chicken... It is the "our best standards assortment"... Will those likely come from Gabbard?

I just saw this and wanted to add my experience with Gabbard. I bought an assortment of 24 hatching eggs from them. They came in a large box and were packed tightly. Two of the eggs were weeping yellow nastiness. So I set those aside, and put the eggs in the next day, within a couple of days another egg started weeping. I removed that and waited. On day 7 I candled, and no development in the eggs. I contacted them about the age of the eggs, since I have never seen a weeping egg before, and none started developing. (Been hatching eggs for 4 years now) This was in about late August. They said it might have been the heat that caused the eggs to weep. They offered to send another set of eggs, for the cost of shipping. I then asked to include a cold pack in the shipping costs, which they agreed to do. They shipped the new eggs soon after that. When it arrived, there was NOT a cold pack in with the eggs like I paid for, but I didnt mind much since they offered new eggs, when they said they didnt cover that, and it was out of their hands after shipping. So I was ok with that. I set the eggs the next day. Ended up with 3 NHR chicks from a set of 24 eggs. (Those 3 were the only ones to develop)
Not sure if this was my fault or how the eggs arrived, it was dark inside form the start but: One egg that I wasnt sure was fertile or not got left in with the three that were developing, it was a maran egg, It wasnt that dark shelled, but looked like it could possibly be developing since it had a lot of bacteria growing inside it. When I went to open it to see what happened, it literally exploded with natsy black goo, and had a terrible stench. Again I dont know if it arrived that way or if it was from incubation, but I have never had a bad egg like that ever, I have only gotten bad eggs from Gabbard.
So thats my experience with them, and I have to say I will never order from them again.
