Anyone else having a problem with shipping eggs this year???

When you all had issues with the eggs that were shipped, did they just not grow or did they end up not making it to hatching? Just trying to figure out if I should wait to get my hopes up or not.

I have about 10 that are clear or have blood rings, but the rest look like they are growing good so far.

Mostly were clear or had blood rings. I always have a few that quit along the way between 7 and 18 days...depends on how many I am incubating. I only hatch silkies and I think they are much more difficult.

These are all silkies. I really hope they continue looking good.

lately I have been candling my hatching eggs at 7 and 14 days -if they are clear I would that it that they are just not fertile which I been getting a lot of hatching eggs like that lately , I try to let some of the clear one in the bator for the whole time of 18 days and still nothing so I would think there are not fertile , the one's that do start to developed and then just quite , and some I have had just blow up in the bator and stink to high heaven.
