Please hear me carefully.
Those buying hatching eggs. I can guarantee fertility. I can't guarantee a hatch. I breed rare breeds. Most fertility is 75 percent. That means reason beyond my control, some eggs are not fertile. I have no control over who the rooster favorite is this week or if a hen is mad at a rooster. Second once sold and in an incubator I have no control on setting. Why do eggs stop developing half way through. Well for large eggs mostly it is because they are not getting rotated (most incubators are not set up to automatically turn large eggs). Yes there are some that come with a large egg turner for turkey, ducks, and geese.I own a few that do but most don't. Second humidity and temp. Chicken needs a different set up than a goose. I am always hatching my eggs. I know personally if there are issues. Please tell me if fertility is low (that is something I can fix). Please do not tell me that a whole batch of eggs stopped developing half way through. That is either an incubator issue or you didn't let them rest 24 hours on a counter prior to incubation. Egg don't like being shaken. I can't see your set up to know what happened. However if you're local I will physically come with eggs to set up your incubator. I am not rude. These are living beings.
