    What are your temps, what style egg tub are you using, and what are you using for a incubator? Any pictures would help as well.

    If the eggs are not directly touching the vermiculite add more water. Using a barrier such as a light diffuser works well and really helps provide higher humidity. Are the eggs directly in the vermiculite?
