I have 13 uro eggs in two diffrent incubators, I was not ready for them when they were layed so i put them in the nesting box, wich the female did not use, and set them on a heat pad for a couple days, they have only been in the incubators a couple days but most are either dented or collapsed, I thought denting was due to low humidity but even the eggs in containers with no air holes that have water droplets on the side(not lid)are collapsed, they are fertile as i read on DFF, one incubator is 91f and the other is 92f both have a fan, one has a cup of water for added humidity and one dos not, also theres 4 eggs still in the lay box on the heat pad and arethey much firmer and round then the other eggs even though i have not covered the entrance hole i cut in the box for the female so it should be much less humid then in the incubators?

if anyone could offer any suggestions or advice it would be grate as i would like to save at least a couple of these eggs

It seems that you have your bases covered. Not much more that you can do in my eyes. I have a question for you though; how do you know they are fertile?

I read on doug dixes site that fertile eggs have red spot or circle in the middle of them and when they were laid all the ones i looked at had it and i saw afew mateing as well so iam pretty sure they are, only the ones in the incubatores seem to be failing the ones in the laying box are round and one has grown quite a bit in size in the last few days so iam realy confused on this

I havn't heard this, but perhaps it's blood vessels that are apparent without candling? Anyhow, it looks like some are staying healthy, so good luck
