I'm going to add chicken eggs to my bator tomorrow, already have duck eggs in there, tomorrow will be day 7 for them.
My question is should I or should I NOT add eggs laid tomorrow? Is it bad to set eggs on the same day they are laid?

It is just fine to set eggs the same day that they are laid.
Do you have a separate bator for the new eggs? Putting new eggs in with some that are 7 days started is quite a ways out there.

I would contact the seller and ask for replacements or refund if they are all clear.  That is not a shipping problem, that is a rooster problem!  Especially if the others are developing just fine, so it's obviously not your incubator.

Before blaming the seller, you need to know if the eggs were fertile or not. The only way to do that is open them up and look at the blastocyst. Even if they are clear without any development, it still could be a shipping problem. Shipping kills a lot of eggs before they get a chance to develop at all. Clear and infertile do not necessarily mean the same thing. Open the eggs and look for that spot. Then talk to the seller. Most sellers are happy to send another shipment if you pay shipping costs. Especially if you know enough to check the blastocyst instead of assuming they sent you infertile eggs just because they were clear.......
