Possibly when you touched the eggs with your fingers you introduced some sort of infectious agent onto them. I always wash my hands with soap and water before touching eggs when I move them from the nest to the incubator.
Other causes: heat spikes, contaminated water used in incubating medium (I always use distilled water only), lack of vitality of breeding stock in general.
I am sure others will have better answers, being more experienced with eggs than I am. ----- Bob
