Trim your rooster so his bottom looks like he's monk, basically a tonsure cut and see if things improve. He's not going to be the most fashionable thing but you should get chicks.

I duuunnnoooo, I'd trim them both.but even my fuzziest butted hens seem to manage their end of things just fine.
They are almost 9 months. They are on layer feed, and usually a treat at end of day.Even if your temperature was way off, as long as it wasn't above 104F, you would still see development by day 7. The humidity won't prevent early development. If the eggs were under a week since being laid, that pretty much leaves fertile yolks as the problem. The issue could be either nutrition or the rooster himself. This time of year, roosters need photo-stimulation just like the hens to be productive. In Florida that shouldn't be as big of an issue as farther north.
How old is the rooster?
What makes up all of their feed?
