After a HORRIBLE hatch with shipped eggs (1 out of 25) I have a much better feeling this time around with the eggs that have been shipped.

Set eggs:
4 RBLW (3 with wobbly air cells at Day 18)
9 Isbar (2 with wobbly air cells and one with no air cell visible)
4 Blue Barnevelder
1 Ayam Cemani that I’m 90% sure is dead based on day 18 candling
5 Mixed Breed from my flock

as of right now, I’ve got one hatched (my flock)

1 Wyandotte pipped
3 Isbar pipped including one with a weird air cell. Fingers crossed!!!

yes, I have them in 2 different incubators for hatch.

oh man. i had 12 (13 since they sent an extra) duck eggs sent from metzer farms so far 1 is infertile and 4 have stopped developing. 1 has a really wonky aircell that takes up like 1/3 of the egg but it is developing still. i thought it would go better than this but ig were in the same boat
 
So far hatched
2 Isbar
1 Wyandotte
3 Barnevelder (1 with assistance)
2 Mixed Flock

currently have 3 (1 Barnevelder, 1 Wyandotte, 1 mixed flock) needing hatching assistance so I have removed the air cell cap and I am watching them carefully.
Also have 5 pipped

none of the ones with the detached or wonky air cells have hatched successfully but I will intervene at the end of the day if they haven’t made an appearance

I’m going to post on the incubator help forum for some advice on the ones with the top pulled off.
