I guess I did something wrong. I candled the eggs laying on a dark towel and there are air pockets on both ends. You can clearly see there was a good progression at some point in four of them but I did something wrong somehow. I am really bummed, never had a completely failed hatch before. I...

I know the temp is 99.5. I don't have a humidity device, but I have kept the humidity higher the last few days. Guess I better get one. Never had any trouble before. Still no changes this morning. Thinking I will check them later, listen for chirping, look for movement?
