When calculating hatch rate. Its the number hatched out of what? The # set? The # fertile? Or the number that went into lockdown?

Can be any of those. I personally calculate my rates by how many fertile.

I'd go with the number fertile. I (personally) don't think the clears count.

I like this since most of eggs I started with were not fertile.

I'm with both of you. I calculate by the number that are fertile - that includes ones that don't make it to lockdown. For this hatch - I pulled clears and 1 blood ring. I include the blood ring in my calculation.
