My broody hen not laying on eggs

[Chickens of the century]

My broody hen hatched seven chicks and there is four more eggs left that we tried to hatch, and she will not lay on them. What do I do?

Can you rig an incubator? Have you candled them at all?

Either pitch them or incubate yourself. She's done setting and is caring for her current chicks

Thanks for the advice. She has already rolled out two that I opened and I found both dead.
Do you think she may not be laying on them because they are dead?

Could be. Or they died because she was off and caring for the other chicks for too long and they got too cold.
