I just had my first incubator-based hatching. The facts/numbers of the hatch
are:
20 eggs put into incubator on day 1
5 removed after candling on day 8

15 remained for ful 21 days
12 hatched over an 18-hour period on day21
10 were BlackRock and 2 were Rhode Island Red
1 egg was not fertile
1 egg had fully formed bitty, but was dead
1 egg hatched but died shortly after leaving egg while still attached

How do I measure the success of the hatch? is it 12 of 20 or 12 of 15 or
some other more complicated formula?

Thank you for any input

I take it you are not in the UK and really mean Black Sex links

Hatchability - Live and viable youngsters : eggs set

Fertility - eggs remaining after candling : eggs set
