Hatching store bought eggs!

[FuzzyCritters]

I saw that someone hatched some chicks from the Happy Eggs brand, so I decided to try it! They are Copper Marans and Legbar eggs. My other two attempts at hatching have been unsuccessful, so I have some questions on how to make this hatch go well, if the eggs are fertile.

I noticed the air cells on these eggs are really large, so what should the humidity be? Lower or higher than usual? The tan eggs are from my flock for comparison.

Larger air cells just mean older eggs...........humidity won't affect them. It's just the age of the egg. Keep it at what you'd normally do unless as they are incubating the air cells are not progressing properly. Then change it.

Sadly, I didn't get any fertile eggs. I hope your hatch goes well!

I'm incubating my own flock eggs and noticed 1 egg wasn't developing, took it out and cracked it open and it looked scrambled. Strange I thought that only happens when shipping eggs. Go figure..
