that's why I rarely candle my eggs.. i candle when I first put them in the bator (to check for cracks and to check air cells).. on day 7 or day 10 depending on the kind and color of egg.. and again at lockdown..

Not necessarily. If the eggs were xrayed by mistake when shipped to you they would start to develop and then die usually within the first week. Also just regular shaking and bouncing in transit can cause problems for the eggs as well. It's not necessarily your incubator or hatching methods. With such varied results from each shipment it would be hard to put the blame on the incubator.

X2.. think of it this way... if you're a female and have to have an x-ray one of the first things they ask you is if your preggers.. cause lots of radiation and fetuses do not work and play nice together... well.. the same goes for poultry eggs..
