3 hatched today, 3 didn't.

So 3 of the 6 eggs my hen is sitting on hatched today, the other 3 haven't yet. I was thinking I would give them till tomorrow or the next day before removing them, any thoughts?

Oh, most definitely give them another 2-3 days! If a hen is brooding on say 10 eggs and 5 hatch the first day, she might hatch out 2 the next, 2 the next, and 1 last...give her time, don't disturb her and let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the quick reply, so far everything is looking great, the chicks are dry alert and moving, so I'm leaving them alone and not disturbing mom or them. Of course the roo has decided to stand guard at the door to their coop which makes checking on them eventful
