[Hatching Chickens]

Broody hen probably started the eggs late. Be patient.

You could candle them to be sure.

Some hens are better sitters than others, One may get off eggs more often and for longer periods to eat and other things. The longer breaks can effect hatch times or even if they hatch at all. Not all hens have all the instincts to do everything they need to do correctly. But I would think if she has been somewhat vigilant at sitting she may just be a little behind other broody. Might even be where she is nesting maybe her nest area doesn't hold heat as well as other and eggs are incubating at slightly lower temp. Can be many variables.
