We put our eggs on lock down tonight and when I walked up there one of the mutt eggs I put in there had a hole in it and I could hear it peeping! We put two mutt eggs from our chickens in there two days earlier(ya I know not to do that but there both doing fine) than the shipped silkie eggs and my mutt eggs were sitting out in the cold for 1-2 days so I wasn't sure if they were going to hatch. Well,it looks like none of the shipped silkie eggs are going to hatch. Is it just because there shipped eggs or am I doing something wrong?The odd part about it is all the pictures of infertile eggs are exactly what these look like. I'll try to get a picture of the egg being candled to see what you all think. Before lock down my humidity stayed in the 40%s and at 100 degrees. At lock down I'm keeping humidity around 60-70%.

Thanks!

Here is a really bad picture(sorry can't get a better one):


You can kinda see the blob at the top and I think that's the yolk. They're on day 18 and all of them look like that. Are they infertile?Did I do something wrong?Or is it just because they're shipped eggs?

Thanks again!

Unfortunately with shipped eggs it's just a gamble, my last batch of silkie eggs I got shipped and I threw one mutt egg in just for the fun of it and my mutt egg was the only one that made it. There are so many things to factor in when dealing with shipped eggs it's hard to narrow it down. But if you mutt eggs hatched you must be doing everything right. Could be rough handling from PO, detached aircells, unfertile eggs......just so many questions with shipped eggs.
