Help!! Will hen continue to sit?

[Chicks4love28]

I have a broody sitting on 12 eggs. 2 of the eggs I left under my hen when they were originally laid, so she had something to sit on (I did not think they were fertile and planned to remove when I got fertile eggs), so I purchased fertile eggs and placed them under my hen 3 days later after my hens 2 eggs. Candled and saw my hens 2 eggs were fertile before pictching. So now here I am 21 days later and one of my hens eggs hatched this morning. So my big question is, do you think she will sit long enough to hatch the other 10 eggs that are do to hatch Monday?

I have an incubator that I have not used yet, so if you feel that’s the best way to go, then please give me any tips and tricks, because these eggs as of today are on day 18. What temp should it be at? How much water do I add??

Which incubator do you have?
Plug it in now and get to know it.
Go purchase a separate thermometer and calibrate it.
Same goes for a humidity guage. Do not trust the built in ones that came with the bator.

If you remove the single chick, she'll likely stay on the nest. Slip him back under when the others start hatching. (That's my experience, anyway.)

I purchased the JANOEL12 and a separate humidity gauge. Just trying to understand the directions now

I would expect removing the chick to work. There is a good chance she will stay and wait "sensing' the other chicks even if you don't remove the chick. You could always finish them in the incubator if you have it warmed up ready to go.

I don't know that one.
Do a search here on BYC and read through some threads about that bator.
You will learn a lot.
