Because the obvious could be the male, was he cycled properly. were the breedings too late? theres alot of things that could have gone wrong and its good to think about it now while everything is fresh in the mind so there is no reoccurence of the same next season. :)

What does an incubator have to due with whether or not eggs are fertile? Eggs are either fertile or they are not. Incubation, temps, humidity... have nothing to do with it. Good eggs can go bad because of poor incubation, but bad eggs can't turn into good ones.

put good eggs into a incubator with wrong temps and humidity and see where they go

Hmm... this has made me wonder how a viable egg might appear under inadequate incubation?
If the egg "dies", do the veins disappear?

I really think you are missing the point here. When eggs are layed they are either fertile or not. Infertile eggs will not hatch no matter how good your incubator is. Of course poor incubation temps can kill good eggs(as I said in my first post) but the eggs were still fertile.
