Advice please!! My broody has hatched a few chicks and left the other eggs...

This is our first time having a broody hen hatch eggs. Today a few hatched and she seems to have “left” the other eggs to care for the chicks. Will the eggs be warm enough so they get a chance to hatch? Is this normal? Any advice? Thank you I’m advance!

I have never used a broody but my friends that do take the abandoned eggs candle them and put them in an incubator to finish them up. They usually are ok for an hour or so because they generate their own heat the last week. It’s always worth putting them in an incubator. They could have anywhere from a day to a week left on them.
