Good day to all!!!

I am a NEWBIE to the world of raising birds and have chose to start with Coturnix Quail. I am on my second hatch and have reached day 18, with only 1 bird hatch out of 36. I was told the eggs were 2 weeks old, so I do realize this is a huge factor. I broke open 3 eggs today and the first 2 were just a gooey mess and the third was partially developed.
On my first hatch most of the eggs were well developed and got 8 out of 36.
My humidity and air temp are being held at a constant until I remove the turner and increase humidity to 60, temp at 99.5.
What am I doing wrong???????????????
 
I think the age of the eggs are to blame here. Ideally quail eggs should not be older than 1 week pre-incubation.
