My hens laid a secret clutch of eggs away from there usual spot and I never notice there are like 17 or 18 of them and not all of them fit under the mom should I take some out when she’s not around or leave them with her she’s not large enough to warm them all she’s a game hen and if you know that kind of chicken there pretty small help please .

You could just leave them and see what happens. They've most likely already started forming into chicks so taking them away wouldn't really make any difference. Could candle some and see what's going on.
Do you have a rooster?

Yeah I have a rooster . The hen is laying on like half of the eggs where there’s to many eggs . Should I wait till she’s eating and go in and get the ones that are not warm out or ?

Candle all of them, then put a small number of the ones that have started developing under her.
