Eggs hatching

[Mahlea23]

2 days ago my Cochin hen hatched an egg. Today she taught it to eat and drink. She still has 5 eggs to hatch and she stayed off them for 2 hours. Will they still hatch?
The reason they didn’t hatch the same time is because she became broody and I put my lavender eggs under her (1 a day for 5 more days)

Uh oh. Do you have an incubator?

If she happens to go back, they'll be okay. But not sure she will keep that up for five more days or not. Her chick(s) are her priority now.

Next time, try putting all the eggs under your broodie at the same time. You can store them in the house at room temp or in your basement if you have one.

If you have an incubator, I'd take them out and incubate, then when they are a day or two old, put them under her when she's not looking.
