Hatch rate

You got it. rounding the numbers will make it so all your numbers do not equal 100 but you are still close enough and it really does help see clearly where the problems are if any. sounds like you are doing pretty well as is though.

Now keep in mind that percentages based on small numbers are almost useless because it is an average. averages do not start to smooth out until you have hundreds if not thousands of eggs incubated. so although this hatch may hit over 80% the next may be only 50. don't get discouraged and keep track of all eggs you put in the bator. That way one day you can show it hatched 750 of 1000 eggs for a pretty solid 75%.

Your welcome! I'm in public school and can't spell, but most of the teachers give use are grades that way, so that sticks in my brain.​

I do. I am by no means a professional, but I do like to track my hatch rates for my own records. That way if I change how I am doing things I can have records to compare my results to.

If they were my own eggs, I would track fertility as well. But I would do it separately from my hatch results. It's just what works for me and my needs.
