Egg Necropsy Results - Need Input

[casportpony]

Looking for some input on the four eggs from the incubator that didn't hatch... Three of the four had absorbed their yolks, but had not pipped internally and all had that strange swelling on their necks. The fourth hadn't absorbed the yolk yet.

I have ad quite a few make it to hatch and did not hatch & I don't know why for sure., seems I am having better luck hatching up rite eggs rather than on their side. Hopefully I will know more on my next 2 hatches.
I am seriously thinking of putting a monitor and temp/humidity gage un the next peahen that sits which looks like that will be my pied hen Apple, I have the survalance camera, brand new never used it, I just need a thermometer with probes that register heat and humidity.. got any ideas where I can find that Kat?

This is what we used inside our incubator, not sure it how it would work under a hen.

Forgot to say that there were two other eggs that were viable at day 5, but died shortly after... One of those had a blood ring.
