Ok so I have a hen who I thought was broody but I'm thinking I was wrong but I left 6 eggs in there she doesn't sit on them all the time but I do have a few hens that sit on them through out the day the temp has been hit an humid here but sometimes the eggs get cold is there a chance they will hatch??? First time trying this ...

Unless you have a dedicated broody, no. You might see some sporadic develoment from the periods of incubation when the laying hens are sitting on the eggs, but in order to have healthy fully developed chicks you need a fairly steady temp. And without a broody, the eggs are going all night without being covered I would assume.
