I checked the eggs again today after leaving them alone for several days. They had lids on the containers but the lids were not sealed on tightly. Also, one or two of the container lids have holes in the lids. However, upon checking them several of the eggs had a weak internal pressure (the egg walls could be easily pushed in). In the past, the eggs that have done this have had dead babies inside. So, I removed the containers from the incubator, brought them over to my table, and proceeded to cut the most collapsed one open. He was alive.
In the time it took me to get him out of the egg and out of the sac that surrounded him, the other eggs "reinflated" and were again firm to the touch. I did not cut any more open. So perhaps the egg problem I am having has something to do with the air in the containers or perhaps the incubator. I replaced the eggs in the incubator and left the lids off. I will frequently monitor their firmness.
There are new pictures on the webpage for the babies. There are a lot of pictures so slow connections may have problems viewing the pictures. Although the last baby picture looks like he is not well, he is actually alive, alert, and active now.
The picture below is Caesar, the baby I cut out 6 days ago. The large monitor is Stevie, who turns 2 years old on Thursday. Stevie is 5 feet now.

Even if you did have to join the stupid club,hope you you figure out the incubator/air problem soon.
