You need to keep them warm.
It’s unfortunate that she left.
They may be dead by now if she left.

Welcome to BYC - sorry for the circumstances. You will need to keep them warm - as close to 100F as is possible, and hopefully they will hatch. Staggered hatches always result in problems as hens are genetically programed to leave the nest within 24 to 36 hours of the first chick hatching. This is so that the chicks can find food and water.
