I ordered half a dozen eggs from My Pet Chicken and they've been incubating for ten days. I cracked open two, and they were scrambled from shipping. Is this third one even fertile?? (both pics are of the same egg, same side of yolk [the other side was plain yellow with no spots or anything])

 
Hard to tell after that long in an incubator. But remember, if those eggs had such a rough trip that some were scrambled, then other unseen damage could have happened that could prevent the egg from developing.

Shipped eggs are always a gamble due to shipping damage. Some eggs don't start developing, some quit early, and some quit late. 50% is a good hatch on shipped eggs, and that number can change due to weather (temperature extremes), altitude change, number of rough transfers, etc.

Hope you get some to hatch!
