Default Corn eggs

Hi
Can anyone advise please.
had my first clutch of eggs this year, totally unexpected as unsexed and not on the radar!
whole clutch of 10 was laid by the 07 female on May 1st and i bought a herp incubator and placed them in, some were obviously dud's and some went mouldy and shrunk and were full of yellow gunk!
so im down to 4 eggs and its now nearly 8weeks plus since laying and im wondering if i have done something wrong and if these eggs are gonna hatch at all? I have had the external temp on the incubator set at 30 c....
What do you think.

cheers
sue ..tried uploading pic but upload keeps failing??

Some eggs can and do go longer than the 60 day marker. As long as they look OK and havent gone mouldy or anything then leave them in there and give them a few more weeks.

What colour are the eggs? The latest hatching i`ve had was at 74 days so there`s still a good week at least yet before you should start worrying. As long as the eggs are plump (a few dents are fine and expected) and whitish i`d leave them.

If the verm feels damp not wet to the touch it is perfect, if when you pick some up and squeeze, if water comes out it is a bit too wet.
