I've had broodies kill chicks they knew weren't theirs. If you get any more chicks make sure they are the same color. Unfortunately its happened several times. 😟

If the eggs aren't good take them out of the nest. Then put the hen and baby out of the nest onto the floor together. When she sees there are no more eggs she won't return to sitting and will take care of her chick instead.

Can you candle the other 3 eggs and see if they are good or not? Hens are fine with one chick, it's just that if you take it away and put it in a brooder it would need a friend. I'd let the hen have her 1 chick and not introduce diseases other chicks could bring.
