🚨hatching egg

[chix4lyfe]

Hello! We have had chickens for just under a year and one of our hens went broody. We let her keep the eggs just to see what would happen. About half way through the incubation, I candled the eggs and got rid of about half of them as they weren't developed. ( I cracked them and was correct) They were supposed to hatch yesterday, but tonight, I heard some peeping and sure enough, an egg has a tiny crack in it and the chick is peeping. We closed the hen and her eggs off from the rest of the chickens for the night as it can take a couple hours to hatch. Is there anything else I should do?

Is the nest above ground?
Start to put grower feed also known as flock raiser and water near the nest site.
