Bought a dz hatching eggs, only 5 fertile, is this the norm/acceptable?

I’ve heard the “Trader Joe’s”
Thingie before still just can’t wrap my head around it.
Good thing I heard about it after I already had my chickens because my skepticism would get the best of me and I’d just have to try some. Ronott are you trying to turn me into a hatchaholic?

It happens to the best of us!

Actually it’s not about perfect birds there is always room for improvement in one way or another.
I don’t believe there is only one way to do things at all. It’s just for me that selling eggs, chicks or full grown birds isn’t on my important list.
I’m aware of the calorie content of carbs, fats and protein.
Grandpa was definitely wise. Most of what was done was based on experience and not the internet.
The issue I think is grandpa had a hard time explaining why certain things were done. Progress isn’t always what it seems. I see a lot of reinventing the wheel.
