ok so I have a hen that hatched out 2 chicks. But she still has a lot of eggs under her do I remove the eggs or the chicks?
 
how long has she been sitting? how many eggs exactly? Were they all put under her at the same time?

Thanks
 
they hatched this morning around 11am and she has 8 more eggs under her. Hard to tell when they all were laid.
 
3 weeks is the right amount of time, I would let her continue sitting for a few more days, more will probably hatch, if your unsure if they are alive then you could candle them.
 
Have you checked the eggs lately and thrown out the bad ones if any? I wouldn't worry about them unless she decides to quit sitting on them.
 
well I had to separate 3 of my hens sitting. Because last week we had 4 hatch and the other chickens killed 3 of them. So i guess im a little nervous i don't want these 2 new ones to die either.
 
If she has sat on all the eggs for 21 days and 2 has hatched than max u can wait is 1 day than i can tell with my little xp that all other eggs are bad
