Just a few more have hatched today. They're still hatching. One is just out of the egg in the incubator.

Just finished my day 6 candling, and I don't believe it! Only 4/12 are fertile. I paid quite a bit for these eggs, so that's not good.
I can still make do with it, but that's a bit of a bummer..

I would not take any of the eggs out of your incubator yet.
Candle the ones that you think are not fertile again in a couple of days.

Also, if they really are not fertile then I would be pissed off at this person for selling non-fertile eggs.
If you're going to sell eggs, you need to be setting them and testing the fertility out on your own before you sell.

Did you ever get a thermometer to calibrate to put into your incubator?

That's exactly why I'm incubating the current batch of eggs I have set. I want to make sure that the eggs I'm selling as hatching eggs are really fertilized. So far, 22 out of 24 are developing...

Sometimes it gets even worse.....I've had 100% infertile eggs shipped....you might give them another couple of days, they could be in a cold spot in the bator?

Yes.

I've been moving them around and I can't find any cold spots.

The latest eggs I had shipped were from a well known breeder, all 48 eggs were infertile, I was like "really". No reply when emailed and no offer to refund or ship more eggs!...not that they would have been fertile, anyway! $480 waste of money!
