Bad eggs?

I put my eggs from my pinstripe in the incubator on June 19. They were all healthy looking eggs with good veins. Now a couple have mold and have water on them even tho the vermiculite isn't overly wet. Just wondering if there is anything to do to help the eggs or are they going to die? Also what causes this?

Thanks in advance.

If they have mould on them after a week, your medium is too wet. To avoid human error, avoid human error and get those eggs out of thier too wet medium and put them up on some light grating.

I lost a lot of eggs, and had deformed babies my first year because they got to wet from the substrate. I go substrateless now so I don't have to worry about the medium being too wet or too dry, it's much less of a headache. You might be able to save them if you get them off the substrate, or at least make it less wet.
