My leghorn had her 1st egg hatch Sunday afternoon! But the other 6 eggs have not hatched......

I have not disturbed her nest yet. I admire her devotion......

Suggestions?

Were all the eggs set at the same time? If so, I'd give it until this evening for any stragglers to hatch. Then I'd go up at night and candle them. Stick a flashlight under the egg and you should see complete dark in the egg except for the air sac. (or if they have pipped internally, you won't see the air sac)
 
Thank You Happy Chooks. I was remiss in getting these eggs marked. It took me by surprise and I really wasn't clear in my mind when she began this batch.

I will candle them this evening, thank you again.
