    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?

    In addition to using a light diffuser to keep the eggs off the vermiculate, adding a piece of Glad Press n Seal between the tub and the lid helps keep humidity inside the tub. Many lids allow too much air exchange.
