I’m so sorry the hen left. Perhaps someone would loan you an incubator.

I hatched an abandoned egg using a heating pad in a plastic tote, kept the humidity up with hot water on a wash cloth. I only had one day left, but I think you could manage 3....

Do you have a heater from a brooder? You could get a small plastic box with a lid and put the heater in it to make your own incubator

No could I bring them inside and put them in a room with the heater on 24/7

All my chicks have been incubated in a DIY incubator.
