I feel obligated to post here, because...
I tried doing the two things I've heard people say make shinies more likely, and I got two shinies within about 50 eggs. This is what I did: Every time I turned on my game to hatch eggs, I would first go to Le Nah and tip
10,000. Then I'd go back to the daycare and take the parents out, then put them back in (first reteaching any egg moves if they forgot them).
Then voilà. I got two shiny vulpix. The first one I only got after about 30 eggs, it had everything I didn't want: Male, flash fire, with no perfect IVs in special attack. So I decided to keep trying, especially since that one took so fast. I redid the Le Nah and taking parents out/putting them back in, and got a shiny within about another 20 eggs. This one was female, had Drought, and had perfect IVs in everything but attack. [: I'm so very happy with her (though I just learned smogon bans Drought in anything lower than OU... booo)
Don't know if this stuff really works, but it definitely worked for me. >.<
Note: I do not have the shiny charm, and I've hatched four shinies before this, all taking me between 1,000 and 2,000 eggs individually.
