You can compare the eggs to the pics in the link in my sig. As for the eggs, write the date on them to make sure no extra eggs go into the nest. If she is keeping them warm, they should hatch 21 days after she started sitting on each of the eggs. I'd not bother them after day 18.

Chicken eggs take 21 days to develop and hatch, but I have had chicken eggs, even under broody hens, hatch early and late, from day 18 through to day 25. On average hatch day is days 21-22.
