    I don't buy shipped eggs.They rarely have good hatch rare.If you are going to have eggs shipped make sure you buy from a close as possible.Shorter shipping time the better.

    Terrible hatch rate 2/12 eggs, is it time to intervene?

    Everyone might not agree with this suggestion but I have always had better hatch rate when I don't rotate eggs for first 7 to 10 days.I always spray my eggs with hydrogen peroxide place eggs big end up in incubator and leave them alone till day 10. After that I begin rotating till lockdown.
