Whats a good hatch rate?

[ChrisPritchard]

Ive had 12 eggs in the incubator, 2 were infertile so i took them out leaving me with 10. 3 have hatched so far is day 23, just wondering what an average hatch rate would be for 10 eggs?

do you think the others will hatch too there not peeping yet....
There light sussex breed btw

Thanks

Chris

are they shipped eggs? what kind of incubator? they say 50% hatch rate for shipped eggs is good, about average. that's what i tend to get, but have also had no hatches and 90% hatches but mostly right there about 40-50%. Kinda stinks really...but it's easier to find the eggs i want on auction sites than local so until I incubate some that aren't shipped, it's hard to compare

I have had a 72% hatch and a 78% hatch one with 1/2 shipped eggs, the other all mine (but old and refrigerated)... I counted myself lucky.

I expect almost 100% from my own eggs if I know they're fertile........If it's shipped eggs I'm thankful when any hatch!

My own eggs, about 95%. I got my 1st batch of shipped eggs so it will be interesting to see what kind of rate I get from them. They were packed very well so I am hoping for the best.
