6 Fertile Chicken Hatching Eggs

I managed to save 4, of the 8, chicken eggs that was sent to me. * eggs were sent, 2 were not fertile and 1 died inside the shell at day 19. One was able to pip its way out of the shell but died 8 hours later. The other 4 eggs had live chicks inside as I could hear them pipping on the shell and chirping.If you place the egg on your ear and hear pipping and chirping then they are alive and trying to get out. I heard this and I waited another eight hours did not see anything come through the egg, not even a small pip hole. I waited another 8 hours and on just one there was a small pip hole with no change in the size. I could hear the 4 chicks chirping but they stopped peaking at the inside. I waited another 4 hours, the next day and still no change in a break through. I could hear chirping in two eggs now and the peaking had all stopped. I started picking away at the one with the hole so the chick would breath. I candled the other three and saw no movement and proceeded an emergency c-section chicken birth. I broke the eggs on the correct side where the beak would be via the candling so they could breath. When I broke through, they stared out at me and started chirping. I placed the ones that had not absorbed all the egg yolk back in the incubator. since I knew they were now safe. I placed the ones that was still attached to the egg back in the incubator and closed it up. I waited 24 hours and checked again and found all 4 to still be alive, dry, chirping and running around. After the 3rd day, I placed all four in their brooder. after 2 weeks I placed them all in a bigger brooder and after 4 weeks, I placed the all in yet a bigger brooder. They are all now 6 weeks old and waiting for the weather to get warmer to go outside in their new home.I am new at all this but, I used my common sense after the first one died and I went with my gut feeling and took matters into my own mind and rescued them all from their shell of doom. I have since learned that chicks that are not strong enough to break through an egg shell might be because of the what the egg layer is fed or how they are treated. Maybe to much stress in their life? IDK but on day 19 if you place the egg against your ear and hear chirps or pipping but see no break through then help them out. Make sure to allow them to absorbed the egg yolk. Play it by ear and if they seem to be energized enough to go to the brooder then move them. I believe the first one died because I did what they said to do on the internet and left him in the incubator for three days and I didn't trust my own instinct which was get him out and give him water and food.Edit: I ordered 6 eggs again and 8 was sent. Two was not fertile. one died in the shell and five chicks hatched. They are all healthy baby chicks, eating just fine and drinking. I dont know what it is about fertile eggs from this vendor but, all the ones I have received seem to be smarter than normal and develop and grow to be mature chicks or maybe its just me and the way I treat my baby chicks. I handle mine a lot and am always interacting with them so, maybe that is the key to a healthy chick. I am always attentive to there needs and I come when they chirp loud so, there know that I am there.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased a set of 6 eggs, but one arrived cracked. Using a brand new incubator with accurate temperature and humidity control, I attempted to hatch the remaining five. Unfortunately, only one egg successfully hatched on day 22. By day 4 candling, four eggs showed no signs of development. It’s unclear whether they were infertile or didn’t survive transit. Overall, the hatch rate was very low, and the experience was quite disappointing.

Look at how nice these eggs are! Good variety of colors and they are packed with expert level care. No cracks, no air cells, they are good to go after a 24 hour rest but as good as they look they might be ready after 12 hours. I’ve been buying fertile hatching eggs online for years and I am thrilled with this purchase. Thank you for the 2 extras !!UPDATE: okay so,,, as everyone knows that there are a lot of factors involved in successfully hatching shipped eggs and Seller and Buyer both can do everything right but the eggs just don't survive the trip. About the same odds as buying a scratch off. So with all that said... do I still recommend? YES! I plan to try again!

purchased 6 hatching eggs from you, and only 2 hatched. Upon inspection, the remaining 4 eggs appear to have been infertile. I put in a great deal of care and effort during incubation, and I’m quite disappointed with the outcome.I wanted to bring this to your attention and ask if you offer any kind of guarantee or partial refund for infertile eggs. I understand not every egg will hatch, but a fertility rate this low is concerning.Looking forward to hearing from you.

Edit: I did end up incubating my eggs even though they were at least ten days old before I got to them and they sat outside in high temperatures a few days before I could get someone to retrieve them. I ended up with an early hatch on day 19 due to the eggs getting too warm prior to incubating. I didn’t think I’d get any but the candling at day 10 showed two viable eggs. Three were discarded due to blood rings. I was unsure about the remaining 7. I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to 3 healthy fluffy and dry baby chicks this morning. I’m waiting on the remaining 6 in the incubator just in case we have a staggered hatch. For now, I’m satisfied with the 3 we have. They are super cute. With that being said, all of the back and forth with the seller was unnecessary and super stressful.I’m sure buying from this seller ends up working out much of the time. However, for many of us, it does not. I specifically chose this seller because I was given the option to choose a shipping window that would arrive after I returned home from a long trip. Instead, the seller shipped the eggs two days prior to July 4th weekend. I saw the shipping was early and immediately contacted the seller. The seller gave me a new delivery date. I then scrambled to find someone willing to camp out at my house on Wednesday (tomorrow) to collect the delivery even though the eggs were going to lose hatch viability being on at minimum day 8 upon my return. I have no idea when the eggs were laid prior to shipping. Imagine my frustration when I see the eggs were delivered yesterday which is five days early while I’m still out of town. I can see them sitting in the hot sun during a heat wave. I contacted the seller once again. They argued with me over the delivery date and made no effort to help or fix the problem. I’m not going to waste my time or energy trying to incubate and hatch eggs that I don’t know the age of. I do know the eggs will be at least nine days old and have set outdoors with high temperatures for five more days. Ridiculous.

So overall the eggs shipped were fertile when I candled it, no red blood ring or anything abnormal. 3 eggs were cracked and I'm happy to see that there were mixed breeds of chicken eggs. I not sure if they will 100% hatch, but I'm sure that atleast 1 will hatch. So I wish all of you good luck with your eggs and I wish my own eggs good luck developing!
