Sounds like they aren't getting enough moisture:confused: I know how frustrated you must be, I had all the same problems my first year. You can try dampening a piece of paper towel, just lightly spray it with water, an lay it over the caving eggs. Check on them in 24 hours, remove the towel and see if they have plumped up. If not, repeat the process. If it works add a small amount of water to your deli cups. Maybe 1/2 tsp. I hope this works for you!

If your incubator has a fan, make sure that you cover the eggs with saran wrap and poke a bunch of holes (like 20-30) with a toothpick. I had a bad first year also because it took me a long time to figure out the fan was causing problems.
Humidity is most likely the problem like Julie suggested, but make sure its not a fan.
