Were they all of the same age when she sat on them? You could candle them and see if there's a chick inside?

 

[badnek]

they are about a day to 2 days apart in age..

 

[kellysmall87]

they could take a little longer then. Do you have an incubator?

 

[badnek]

i dont have one im still a newbie to chickens..that and its hard to make one here..

Try putting food and water very close to her nest (ie- so close she doesn't have to get up). That way she can sit on the eggs and take care of the already hatched chicks. If the eggs are that close, I'd take a few out and tap the shell. You should hear peeping at this point...
Good luck.
