Can I leave eggs under broody utill internal pip and still to hope that she'll continue to sit on other eggs?

[Nenad]

My bantam pullet is broody, she is sitting on 2 of hers(set 10th february) and 9 shipped(set under hen on 18th february). I am wondering since hers 2 will hatch early and she won't continue to sit on other, can I remove those 2 as late as possible, maybe when internal or external pip? Will she still sit on egg if she hears them under her? Can I leave them to hatch under hen, then to remove them or I need sooner? Thanks


P.S. People on here told me to remove then on 15-16th day.

Its because I don't have incubator.

Oh, that does make a difference, perhaps if you put that in the title you may get better replies.
I had a hen that hatched eight eggs that took about 3 days to hatch, the first to hatch were running around their cage before the last hatched and mom felt she had to watch the 7 who had already hatched. It had already pipped and I don't have an incubator either. So that one was taken inside and I hatched it myself.

Do you think that I can let them pip and then remove them? How did you hatch yours? Im scared that she might abandon other eggs.

I made a mother hen out of a heating pad, towels and wet paper towels. I used coconut oil on any exposed membrane to keep it moist, watch it closely and it really did all the work.
