Broody hen, tips for chick preparation?!

[PalomaNova]

After candling 5 eggs (a bit sooner than advised since I was neeervously impatient to spot any survivors)...
1 is for sure with movement, perhaps on day 18 by the looks (I'm no expert, my second candling).
3 eggs I could not see because they are too dark. I could see the air sac but nothing beyond it. Putting light on sides and etc does not make it shine through either. I'm not sure how to identify those ones on death vs life... Will try again later, maybe was too soon.
1 is vein and very translucent so either is the mixed one (early development) or non developing one - will check again later on...

I assume no turning is needed since The eggs come from 5-6-7 July so by my calculation the youngest should be on day 18 now.

Nervous and hoping for at least one survivor

1 one I get a broody hen unless its her first time she usually stays on the nest for about 3 dsys after hatching I would have an incubator ready just in case.
2 it should be fine
3 yes I have a broody hen that is fine mixed with my flock she has 1 baby and protects it from our rooster
4 if theres cats I would givee her room. But make sure ylthe area she is in is cat proof. And yes the mother and her baby know each others calls before they are even born so it will be fine. Jas your cat ever tried to eat chicks before? Mine is scared of chickens but will eat the chicks.

The broody is not broody anymore and yes that was her first. I tried to put her on her eggs but it's useless.
Do you think I can try to sneak in the hatched chicks under her still?! Or did I misunderstand you?
