Results Of Third Guinea Fowl Incubation

I incubated 40 eggs in total which had been stored for up to 7 days. The incubation results are as follows:

6 keets hatched out unaided.
3 keet hatched with assistance.
2 eggs pipped but keet died in shell.
10 eggs had fully formed keets but shell not pipped.
8 eggs had an embryo which had died in the early stages.
11 eggs infertile.

Nine keets were taken from the incubator and all have survived.

Results of Fertility And Hatchability

27.5% of the eggs were infertile.
72.5% of the eggs were fertile.
31% hatchability.
22.5% of total eggs hatched out.

I am encouraged that I have a high percentage of fertile eggs although this incubation was very unsatisfactory and I will need to look into the reasons why this has been such a poor hatch.
