Hello, and welcome to BYC. You are dealing with the problems of a staggered hatch. Hens are biologically programmed to leave the nest within 24 to 36 hours after the first chick hatches to assure that they access feed and water. Do you have an incubator? It is likely that she will soon leave the nest for good.

Welcome to BYC. You've gotten some great advice so I'll just wish you luck with the remaining eggs. Oh, and congratulations on the new chick!

Best of luck with any remaining viable eggs!

Hi, I do not have one but I thought about grabbing one at this point. Like I mentioned in my original post this was unplanned and now letting nature take its course. I will definitely look into getting one if she does leave the nest. Thank you
