It's the incubator. I had the same thing happen. It's gotten too hot and "cooked" the eggs.

Omg. Thanks i figured. Ugh should i lower temperature i lowered it to 37.5 yesterday.

Looks like bacterial infection to me. May be indirectly caused by incubator temp. Did you calibrate your thermometers, and keep meticulous records of frequent temp checks?

Me too. I cooked my black copper Marans. It said 37.5C but when I tested it the temperature was 106F.

No i have a hygrometer but its too big to fit in there and i could not afford a small one to test i figured being incubator it would do most of it itself. It stayed constant at 38.0 set as directed by the horrible instructions

I agree with @lazy gardener. Did you calibrate/check your thermometer to make sure it was reading temperatures properly ?
