the yellow eggs which are sinking in could be non fertile. some eggs in a clutch wind up not fertile for one reason or other. however, keep incubating them till they start to stink, then remove them, just to make sure. if the other eggs are still fine, and are not collapsing, they should hatch. if they do start to collapse, could be due to not enough water in the incubation medium.
