I've had bad eggs sent to me before and it's a pity that some people will do just about anything for a buck! I've heard of some breeders selling their eggs that were incubated for a week and infertile. Some people! Who was this person you got eggs from? Not to sling him/her through the mud or anything but I think it would be nice to know so others don't have the same results.
Did you expect anything other than an excuse from a person who sent you old eggs. Obviously they HAD to know how old they were.
At least they didn't explode in your hands or in the bator, that is about the only thing to be thankful for in this situation.
