Ditch the containers of extra water. You should have substrate, eggs, thermometer/hygrometer and thats it inside the egg box.

You should put the lid on the egg box it will help hold the humdity in around the eggs where it is needed -- make sure you have a good accurate way to measure your temps and humidity. Eggs should plump back up pretty well once you have them set up proper.

In my experience vermiculite that clumps together is too wet -- you might want to pull the eggs out and put some more dry vermiculite over what you have in the egg box then put the eggs on that.

You should not get any condensation in the egg box -- that would be a sign of fluctuating temperatures not proper humidity.

What type of incubator are you using?

Good luck.
