Game Hen hatching eggs

[Lovesumchicks]

So my little hen has started laying on her nest on the 30th of October. Well, I have noticed yesterday 3 eggs were almost all the way sticking out beside her so I knew she was maybe sitting on too many. She is alone in the coop with food and water. My husband and I went to check to see how many she has I think I saw 9 at the most. So today, I wanted to candle them but she is so motherly that she fights and bites so I don't want her cracking the eggs. Really lost at what to do. She just pooped on them too I guess from me trying to look under her. I want to leave her be and let nature take it's course but if she has too many and is turning ans 3 will always be sticking out I want to take some away.

I also let nature do everything. I personally would leaver her, I wouldn't want to add stress to her. She may even push out the ones she knows aren't alive and she will leave them behind after the ones have hatched and she leads them away.
If you want to candle, can you candle when she is off the nest eating, walking around, and drinking?

Take her off the nest at night candle the eggs where they sit and throw and clears. Set her back in

She gets up once a day only for a minute to poop. She has barely touched her feed and water. She seems good weight still. I don't want her to abandon them if I mess with her too much
