I'm not so sure if this is normal or not, but my type 2 yellowface opaline hen has hatched all 4 of her youngens 1 day after the other, first baby hatched 1 day earlier then expected at around 9pm, then the next morning a second chick hatched at around 11am, then the very next morning after another hatched at same time and then another one hatched the very same day at around 10pm at night.

 

correct me if im wrong but shouldnt it be a hatchling every 2 days or so?...

Can and Does happen, depends on when the hen starts incubating the eggs. Just because she laid an egg doenst mean she has started the incubation.

Agree! Some hens also sit tigher than others, which can result in eggs hatching sooner and closer together.

oh good, cause the hen has not left the nest in the full 23 days really

the male has been in their half the day helping her and feeding her in the box

so i would say she started incubating after 3rd or 4th egg
