This is normal. If they are only six days from going full term, they will be fine. This usually happens when the eggs are getting near hatching. Nothing to worry about. If it were only a week or two after being laid, then your water mixure would probably have been too dry.
I see this in most of my eggs nearing hatching. It doesn't happen to all of them, but it does happen.
