Mama hatched eggs on 29th day

kept candling and looking for movement inside the eggs and surprisingly she started hatching on teh 29th day what could be the reason for a late hatch

Maybe she didn't 100% commit to sitting on the day you thought colder temperatures could also have delayed hatching (I know that power outages, when using an incubator usually results in a delayed hatch).

I see at least 10 chicks there, so if she started sitting on the first egg, and you started counting at that point, she won't actually start keep them at incubating temp until she has a full nest.
If you gave the eggs to her and it was really delayed for 29 days, I'd be very surprised.

YEah may be because of colder temperature, it was winter out here in india when she started siting on eggs,but at the same time another mama hatched all 16 eggs on 21st day ....this was suprising to me ,,
