Wait until you hear my downward trending, "it's OK because", reverse chicken math! I have 58 eggs set. 10 are for orders for my own birds' chicks. 50% hatch rate for shipped eggs leaves me with 24. 50% boys =12. A friend wants extra Orps/Mottled cochins, so basically I am down to four birds, and that is just to restock my laying flock. GET it?
By the way, I have a nice bridge to sell you... CHEEEEEEP!

Completely makes sense. I do the same exact thing.

I HAD to hatch. It's just not ethical to ship eggs without testing fertility first.
