I went in there tonight and a different hen is now sitting on them and she is not so easy going she fussed alot when i moved here to check on the eggs. what should I do ? Let her take over and finish hatching them. I've got issues! thanks for the help. (JJ)
The hen had 6 eggs total and yes i did handle it an place it back under her. I went through the bedding no chick thats why I think one of them ate it. This is her first attempt of hatching eggs.
She did go back and is sill sitting on the remaining 5 eggs.

Thanks for the info I have only one question.

now 2 days later I can't even see the air sack does that mean the
chick in dead or is this normal? From JJ
