Hatch rates with shipped eggs

What are your hatch rates with shipped eggs?

I've had 10% hatches and then 80% hatches. It depends on the conditions...

The postal service can do a number but also the person incubating can as well. I sent pamphlets with each of my orders, some follow it, some don't. Funny how the ones who throw it out complain... Lol

But it depends. Shipping eggs is a gamble but I get eggs shipped to me all the time and I do the same.

Speaking In Very General Terms... 50% Would Be Considered A Good Hatch By Most

I have gotten 70% plus some came from FL others came from 3 counties away seems to me closer is better but it also seems some postal routes do not hatch as well as others

There are too many variables. I hatched some Coturnix and Butler Bobs a week ago. They came from the same state, different people. One was 25% the other 65% and that was counting the non fertile. I will order again soon from the 25% because I have confidence in the breeder but not the postal service. One took 4 days to get here(ILL) the other 3 days. I thought priority was supposed to be 2 days? Last year I ordered some duck eggs and none hatched out of 15 and I ordered again and 12 hatched out of 16 so go figure.
