Chirping
From what I've read, it seems like the freshness of the eggs has a very big impact on hatch rate. Of course handling being the biggest.I buy a lot of shipped eggs every year. From all over the country. And I've had hatch rates from 80% to 0%. I've found its mostly due to how they are handled mostly. And partly how old the eggs are. Shipped eggs are always a gamble. I've spent a lot of money on eggs that never hatched. And bought egg pretty cheep that hatched great. But that's just the way it goes.
