I've never had a redfoot egg get too wet, although I am sure it is possible. I have had infertile eggs explode after several months. Not a pretty sight or smell. The crease in your hatchling is normal and usually results from them being folded up in the egg. It should gradually smooth out as they grow. If redfoots are incubated with humidity that is too low, the carapace is often slightly deformed (off-center when viewed from the front). This usually corrects itself as growth continues. The egg with the dead hatchling could be due to the temp fluctuations, esp. if it got too high. Otherwise, sometimes you just get a dud.
