Whether a pokémon is shiny and/or mega able is decided when it hatches and depends on the characteristics of the account that hatches it. The chances will be influenced by whether or not the user is premium and/or has an active radar.
You could hatch them all and not get a single shiny or mega able; you could release those same eggs and someone else who's hunting Swablu, might get a shiny from them.
If someone hatches a shiny from your egg, you didn't release a shiny egg; you released a normal egg, that hatched shiny on that particular account, influenced by the specific data related to that account.

The wide lens only tell you what Pokemon will be in an egg, so things like gender won't be shown, whether it's mega powered or not, and whether it's a shiny or not - that also won't be shown.
There's a possibility for all eggs to hatch a shiny, but whether it hatches a shiny or not is only determined when it's already adopted.
Edit: Late.

So basically i have a 50/50 chance of the releases swablus as a shiny/megaable?
I cant just chain swablu and cottonblu at the same time right xoz the chain will break :/
Gaaah xD
This is complicated haha

There's no 'chance' of you releasing eggs in the daycare that could be a shiny, since whether a Pokemon is shiny or not is only determined when you adopt the egg, and is in your party already. (And the chance is most definitely not 50/50 :b or else everyone would have had shinies, and shiny megas, etc. The chance of hatching a mega powered Pokemon is seen as 'random' by people, and the chance of hatching a shiny is stated on your Pokeradar page. You reach max chance when you hit chain #40. Things like the shiny charm and premium increase this chance)
And yes, Cottonblu's and Swablu's are considered different 'species', and will break chains
It's just easier to start with one species first, then focus on another. If you have a couple of egg storages (at least 6 I'd say), you can start hunting Swablu first, and then put all the Cottonblu eggs in the egg storage, until you're done with the Swablu hunt and want to start Cottonblu afterwards.

Just wanted to check before I upgrade the first one, I didn't want to upgrade it only to find it gets deleted and replaced when I buy another one.

And will it be able to be chained since theyll be stored for weeks or months
Unsure of it even make sense xD

Yes, as long as an egg(that can be chained) hatches with your PokèRadar active it will count towards your chain.

@Catella - Personally, I'd prioritize the Amulet Coin (because that earns itself back eventually) and the Explorer Bag.
The Flame orb is nice for the extra push, and is useful.
Chips are mostly useful if you're Shiny Hunting or looking for genderless pokémon, because you need the EggDex, so you can just breed more, if they have a gender.

I personally would release pokèmons that would be easy to get back or that I won't miss when I run out of space back when I first join. Such as pichu, cleffa, caterpie, etc. After you can afford a box you can get them back easily.
@Radian
As far as I know it's intentional so unfortunately the rate of the Giratinas appearing lowers as you get closer to the goal. It's quite annoying but you can try the minigame countless times.

I contacted one of the wiki staff about 2 pages that kind of contradicted each other and havn't heard anything. (Explorer bags entry and the explorer bags section under rumbling - one says super secret must not be told, the other page gives all the methods freely. I assume the super secret method is not a secret anymore since I've seen staff post it in these forums)
I would assume common courtesy would let them at least get them to let me know they got my PM and say thanks, or it's fine as it is - so I don't move on to another member of staff with the same thing as I think they didn't get the message.
