How long over the normal incubating period can an egg go? And why? I broke open my turkey eggs today, day 33 from when I set them under the hen. All were duds except one, and it had a live turkey poult in it.

It had a yolk sac that was about 1 1/2" long, so it had a few days to go. A friend of mine had her chicken eggs (under a broody hen) hatch on day 26 and 27. I have no experience with turkey eggs, but I've never had my chicken eggs hatch out so late. Anybody have any ideas as to why?
 
If she doesn't cover them properly or stays off them too long of periods, development is delayed. Broody error.
