To me spending a bunch of time trying to find out if there are fertility issues with this individual or that is a waste of time. I think that fertility issues are largely related to the female and her stress levels when she is laying the eggs.

She is shelling the eggs as she lays them and it is believed that they are fertilized at that time as well. My guess is that most of the time when the eggs are half fertile or a large percentage does not hatch, then the female is the issue. She was in a rush or stressed and the fertilizing, shelling timing is off - that is my theory about that.
