I purchased 25 corturnix eggs shipped ...3 were broken on arrival 3 were not fertile....

15 hatched
1 died early in development... two were fully developed had beak under wing but died one wasn’t to that stage yet but was fully formed..... wondering if due to hot or cold spots in incubator?? Or is that just normal for shipped eggs?
Would that be hatch rate of 78% since 3 not fertile and 3 broken??
 
Since the eggs were shipped that's a pretty good hatch rate. I've known people who set 24 shipped eggs and had 1 hatch. If 15/22 hatched, since 3 weren't fertile, then I'm calculating 68%

3 not fertile and 3 broken on arrival so only 22 were set.... I got 15 live chicks out of 19 fertile eggs
