Hello,
well I am a first-time chicken breeder and I didn't know when the hens are going to sit on the eggs(becoming broody), so I didn't remove the eggs from one to another until my hen sat on the eggs but without me knowing so I forgot to label them at the time that the hen sat on them
3 weeks later and I am confused on when the chicks will hatch, I candled them and they were growing and some of the eggs are in different stages and I don't know what to expect, so my questions are:

3 weeks later and I am confused on when the chicks will hatch, I candled them and they were growing and some of the eggs are in different stages and I don't know what to expect, so my questions are:
- how should I know when the chicks are going to hatch without the first-day date?
- will the hen leave the young unhatched egg?
- what should I do if she abandoned her eggs?
p.s
I didn't put any new eggs with the hen through the incubating process and I removed some eggs during the process (no development and spoiled)
I have 16 chickens 12 are eggs 1 broody hen 1 not broody and not laying hen 2 roosters
