Only 3 out of 17 eggs fertile?

[tmlowe5704]

I candled my eggs and found out that only 3 are showing the veins, all others are clear (some already started getting mouldy - see other post), is this a normal percentage?
17eggs = 2 clutches, just to make sure...

3 out of 17 is a horrible percentage for fertile eggs. How are you incubating them? What temps is your incubator set at? What are you using to control temps? How are you measuring temps and where? What is the humidity in the egg boxes and how are you measuring that?
