broody hen on day 21 just checked and saw broken egg ....no chick also found a egg in bedding broken open but looks days old ....some dried yolk on remaining eggs not smelly will they hatch ?

They may; certainly don't attempt to clean it off now. There's not much you can do now but stand back and cross your fingers and hope your broody manages the situation well.

Ok so just checked on her again broken egg fully formed chick but dead looks like she sat on it....i hear peeps coming from 2 eggs never checked them all should i take from hen put in incubator? This is her second time broody none lived first time....i found them partially hatched but dead under her last time

tough one. Hopefully she learned from first time round. But if you have an incubator you could hedge your bets and take some, leave some...?
