Ah... but I think you still have to account accordingly. If an egg is clear through Day 7 -10 time frame, then it was not fertile. So infertile eggs do not count against hatching percentages. Ya jes caint hech an enfutearl aig!!!![]()
If the egg began to develop, resulted in a blood ring, or otherwise, that would count against your percentage, even though it was no fault of yours. Shipping can be very hard on eggs and to get 11/24 for shipped eggs is still doing pretty good. I have had shipped eggs that resulted in 2/20, 1/8, 5/9, 1/12, 0/14, etc., hatches. My results were very disheartening but were in line with what many others experience with shipped eggs.
Some were clear @ 7 days, also had 2 blood rings.
Hope the dry hatching well improve my next hatch!
I will candle the last 4 eggs tonight to check for internal peeps.
May also try the float test.
I did pip one on my last hatch but got too eager & it hemorraghed.
Hoping the last few make it.
Need to vaccinate & then put under my broody CCL.
