Short version of the story is I had an incubator with a t-stat that I bought from one of the big suppliers. After using it for a long time I realized I had not checked the t-stat that came with it to see how accurate it was. It wasn't. It was off 5 degrees so it strung out the incubation time. Other than that I know the vermiculite I used was way too dry. I didn't do anything more than spray the top with water. The ambient humidity was 100% but much like a sponge I'm sure the vermiculite pulled moisture from the eggs. Live and learn I suppose. My fingers are crossed for this year though.
