Should have heeded the advice of whomever and relocated Momma Easter earlier in the process (she is sitting on 4 eggs that I "borrowed" from a neighbor with a rooster). One of the other hens (I assume) stomped one of the eggs and crushed it, and the 19 day old peeper inside
I was devastated. I tried relocating momma and her eggs after than, but she wasn't having anything to do with it so I put her back in her nest box and closed it off so no one else can get inside. I'll just take her out twice a day for food and water and pooping and hope for the best. So sad. Only 1 or 2 days to go and then I can move her to the hospital pen with the babies (if there are any!)
