First time with Shipped eggs

[kaustin1106]

Any advice would be great. We ordered 10 hatching eggs, and being about 6 days to hatching, were down to 4. On day 13 we took out 4 of them because it looked like there was no growth. Candling them looked like it wasn't fertile. The other 4 I have no clue of they are ok.

The first pic is of the ones that looked "scrambled." Does anyone know what might have happened?

The second pic (excluding # 2 and 5) are what's left. Are these any good?

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Shipped eggs are a gamble, I can't really give you much advice aside from wait and see and cross your fingers! They can get scrambled from shipping, I've had shipped eggs scramble even when extremely well packed. Hopefully you'll get at least 2 that make it and hatch.

I got 3 chicks from 12 shipped eggs, one chick pipped but didn't make it. Next time I'll buy 24 and hope for about 5 live chicks.
