you hitting submit twice maybe??? i'm sorry

I give my sympathy for you. The temperature may have been way too high. When they develop really fast, and decide to hatch when they are not fully formed, Usually it is because of high temperatures.

The temp was at a steady 102 almost the entire last two weeks. That's what it says for the still air. The rest of the time it was at 100. It did spike once, but only for like 30 minutes. I'm not really sure what happened. (s)he has been buried. (S)he died peacefully. That's all I could ask for I guess.
The other 24 (out of 33) are peacefully peeping in to bator.

These things happen. At least you have lots of other healthy babies!

We built a homemade incubator and tried 6 eggs in it, carefully monitoring the temp and hand turning all day long. 5 of the 6 hatched perfectly and are in the outside brooder doing well. 4 days after setting the first eggs in the homemade incubator, we bought an LG incubator with egg turner, and installed a fan. We carefully monitored the humidity and temp...70% and 99.5, rarely up over 100. The majority of these eggs hatched prematurely at 19 and 20 days, all but one have unabsorbed yolk hanging off them and one has now died. Now, 3 have hatched this morning at 21 days and still have large unabsorbed yolk attached. So, I'm at a loss at to what it could be if its not temp/humidity.

Bad genetics? My only guess.
