Issues that you have had with shipped eggs, beside poor hatch rate?

[WinklerFarms]

I ordered 24 hatching eggs.  Out of those, 3 were cracked when they were unpacked.  I'm sure it was the post office, for the packaging was very good on all the eggs.  Just one of those things and a risk I took.  I just wish the ones that were cracked hadn't been the Lavender Orpington eggs I really, really wanted.  Having said that, of the 21 that I incubated, I got 8 chicks.  On eggtopsy, most seemed to have been fully developed, but failed to hatch.  I am going to try ordering one more time - from somewhere much closer and who ships next day delivery and see if I get a big improvement.  Hope so. 

If they were fully developed it is unlikely a shipping problem. The problem was somewhere in incubation. Usually if a shipped egg fails due to shipping it is early. A person tends to see a lot of blood ring day 3 or so with shipped eggs.
