Thats essentially why I asked. Its rarely a fertility issue. It can be but its often shipping that does them in, let alone the hatching process. Handling the eggs the least you can because of fluctuations caused by it, and contamination issues. Many newbies candle their eggs daily to watch progress. Many have to manually turn them(automatic turners REALLY increase your odds). Some incubators take time to restabilize temp a nd humidity everytime it is opened and the eggs are fondled. It all eventually contributes to the percentage what does and does not hatch. Many folks jump to the conclusion that non of the eggs were fertile.
Got ya!! So it might of been a turning issue or handling the eggs too much, i should be opening the eggs , so maybe i'll figure out what went wrong with these.
