Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

Do you have a rooster? If so, you don't really need to do anything. The hens do all the work.

Are they ground level or how high up are the hens? I'd just worry how they get to the ground once they hatch if they're too high up.

In 21 days from when they started sitting on the eggs, the eggs should hatch. The hens will show them to the food and water.

If you're not feeding with an all-flock, I would pick up some chick crumbles for them. Your other chickens can have them too. You can replace the feed in the chicken feeder with the crumbles. It's healthy for them too, but you'll need to pick up some oyster shell if you don't have any for the hens, as the calcium is lower in all-flock and chicken crumbles.

We're glad you're here!
