If they were shipped eggs then sometimes problems accrue. Ive had it happen a few times and had to cull alot of my chicks

The one pictured is "normal" and has a sibling looking identical.. these were eggs that I'd purchased but.. they all seemed to do well when I'd candled them.. any thoughts? Has anybody had this happen before...? This was my first hatch.. and out of the dozen eggs 7 were viable but many quit and some didn't make it out of the egg..

no... they weren't shipped, I purchased them from a gentlemen down the road.. I was just wondering if there was something faulty in my hatching that may have caused it... or like... how I could prevent it..

 let this be the year they lay golden eggs!

All my hatches are 99.5-100 steady temp and 30% humidity.  Then on lockdown, 70%.  With good eggs, last time I got 8 out of 8.

maybe your thermometer is off,because you say you hatched at 20 days and chicks hadn't absorbed there yokes all the way. thats the first thing i would check.

SEMINOLEWIND: it sounds like ur temp was high. if they hatched early and didnt have the yolk absorbed.
