I have hatched eggs several times in an incubator after the hen quit the nest. You just have to be sure you know about how long she had sat on them.
Also I wouldn't let a hen set that long. It is very stressful on them. You should break her up and let her get back in top form and then...

I wonder if the moisture loss is what kills them, and if you keep them moist you can wait longer... we have high humidity here- so that might be part of it...
(I keep saying humidity and barometric pressure matter to birds but no one takes me up on it yet...)
