You can try it for the night but be out there before sunrise to check and keep an eye on things. It's risky but really your makeshift incubator is risky as well.

I went to go leave them under her she tuged them inside the main goal is for them to hatch if she doesn't accept them i can bring them in hatched already and that will be esier. I think the safest way was to leave them under the hen because when i go to sleep i cant supervise them

Yes but the dangerous part is her reacting badly and either kicking them out of the nest to die or killing them herself. It's such a touchy thing. How long ago did the other chicks hatch?

Yes but would've veen riskier in here i didn't have a incubator. By tommorow if they hatch and she doesn't accept them i can go check up on them real early once they hatch with her its esier because she has the right temperature an the right humidity under her i couldn't give the egg that if i went to sleep. Being hatched already i can bring them inside and they can heat them selfs under the heat lamp or move away from the heat lamp by them self. Feel like it was a safer way to save them i helped them by heating them during the day while the mom left them alone
