What is wrong?

Got almost 16 good eggs today (picked them up). Threw out 6 that did not hatch. Big incubator has three sets in it that were sent to us,US mail. We transfer eggs from the master incubator to a smaller inc., with about 4 days remaining in cycle. INC. rate less than 10%. Large inc. temp good HUM around 67%. Small The same. What do you suggest. Both inc. have water in them.

Did you open the 6 that didn't hatch? I like doing a dry hatch, I don't add water until the last 3 days. Temps at 99.5 to 100 humidity at end around 70-75%

I got 7 eggs on ebay Swedish Flower hens. They were due to hatch yesterday. Out of the 7 eggs 1 was a dud and 1 died early in development. That left 5. This evening all 5 are hatching out. 1 is out of its shell and the others are in different stages of coming out. Very happy here. Guess I was expecting them to hatch out on day 21 and they decided that day 22 was much better.
