Has mom abandoned nest?

[bonnierae]

So my runner has been brooding for quite some time, and yesterday 5 eggs externally pipped and she hasnt been on the nest since. Should i intervene? I dont have an incubator but i do have a heat lamp and a styrofoam cooler and a humidity reading thermometer as well as the next 24 hours free. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Id hate to lose 5 little dudes because of the mom losing interest

I would try to fix the cooler and heat source up so you can hatch them out. If they have pipped you might as well try it. put a dish of water in there to create humidity. Good luck
