Are these your own eggs or bought..?? I just had a hatch of 17 BRed my eggs and 14 Royal Palm eggs that were bought and shipped by PO.. Just by looking at the RP after the hatch date they appeared to be non-fertile.. either that or PO bouncing them destroyed the embryos..

The 14 RP eggs were no good .. Had one to hatch but crippled and died.

Of my 17 Bourbon Red I had 15 hatch .. 1 infertile egg and 1 egg seomthing happened to it.. I added 7 chicken eggs 7 days later and had 5 of those to hatch.. 1 infertile and the other turned bad..

They were bought eggs but were technically pick up and not shipped. Something happened in the last days as they were fully developed but no pip. A couple did hatch so whatever the problem was, I wasn't too far off.

It's losing the ones that come close and then don't that I think are the hardest.

I agree!
