I have a young hen with first clutch of eggs and has been sitting on eggs over 21 days. 6 chicks hatched but still sitting on 5 eggs. she refuses to get off. how do I know if eggs any good?

I'm brand new to laying hens. I only had my chickens for two weeks now and my five hens only laid three eggs. Does the heat have a lot to do with their laying ? It has been in the 90 for about a month now and very humid. My coup is in the heat with home made shade only.

brand new at raising chickens. Looking for laying hens. I live in Sunset, Louisiana.
