    Have you candled the eggs at all? You probably shouldn't candle them during the last few days of incubation, however, I think it would be a good idea so you can see what's going on in those shells and see if you have infertile eggs, quitters, or both.

    I just candled my eight eggs last night and threw away three infertile and two quitters.

    If you haven't candled them at all, you can at least easily see which ones were never fertile at all.

    At least you'll know what is happening!
