Im a new member and new to everything about raising chicks

Thank you all for the welcome. I have learned so much. I had a adult brahma die yesterday. I got her to add to my flock from a craigslist seller. She goes to auction somewhere in Dallas, to obtain her chickens. She has all kinds of breeds. Anyway. this chicken was kind of a favorite of mine. She was very docile, I am new to all the chicken raising. I don't want them for meat, just eggs. I think she must have been old and died because of that not sure. She. ate in the morning. All my chickens love bread as a treat. They come running when they see me, like I am the pied piper. I have noticed she was not so eager to eat the last week. but she did take a little. About and hour later I found her in the coop. dead. It was very sad. I now try to hatch my own chickens in my incubator and vaccinate them so I know what I have. I have a problem though, I hatched 7 out of 16 copper marans, I found guinea eggs and added them at a later date. Now I can't remember the date I put the guinea eggs in. I think it was about 5 to 6 days later. I am on day 31. That is the starting date of the copper maran. What should I do?
 
Well I only got one out of 12 eggs. most of them were not fertile, and the only other one that was, did not pip out. At least one survived, considering only 2 were fertile
