Did she get off the nest with those 3 pips?

Yeah. she got out for her morning snack and drink. They all hatched out that same day.

Wow, didn't think they would get up during hatch....
...does she not know about 'lockdown'?!?!

That's what I was wondering...just put 12 fertilized eggs under my broody. Reading that with an incubator you wouldn't turn the eggs for the last few days. Does anyone know if the mother stops turning her eggs as well? My first attempt!
