So many with a blood ring?

[tallyho]

I put 14 eggs into the incubator. 4 still look good on day 7. 6 have a blood ring and 4 were completely clear. Of the 6, 5 were of 1 breed. I am scrupulous about cleaning the incubator after a hatch and then again before hatching. Doesn't 6 red rings of death sound like a lot? Any ideas why? Should I shut down the 'bator, sterilize and put the good eggs back in?

I am interested in the answer to this. I have a question, were the eggs shipped? My thoughts are your parent stock has some problem though. Here's a bump.

Yes, the eggs were shipped x-country. Out of 7 of 1 breed I have 1 developing and out of 7 of the other I have 3. I have never had so many blood rings. One, maybe, per hatch. Before I stuck them in the incubator I could see about 4 detached air cell and that's after letting them sit for 24 hours.
