airline baggage compartments are both pressurized and heated so i doubt thats where it happened, however if left on a luggage rack in unheated space they could happen if the temps are very low, either way sorry that you had such bad luck.
i think we are educating sellers to change thier pkg habits and that is bringing up the average hatch rate.
and I sent her this link for this thread... I hope my eggs do good!!!!!
i would calculate my hatch rate based on eggs recieved vs eggs developing, not based on how many ordered vs how many developing. i think it very generous of sellers to include extra eggs to make sure that you get the quantity purchased, but to be fair about determining accurate hatch rates you really should include all eggs that get set...of course broken eggs would not figure in because they never get a chance to attempt to develope. This is my opinion and i think represents the most scientific method of calculating, but i certainly would love to hear from others on this.
i think those numbers are great and i really hope you have great success with all the eggs. what kind of incubator are you using, thanks for the update.
this is a great posting and a great video that every seller of hatching eggs should view.
I have a farm innovators with an upgraded digital thermostatand fan and an older hovabator genisis 1588. I will have the home made 120 egg bator finished sunday
