Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

Question...
My broody hatched 2 days early in the coops nest box. I was going to move her to a kennel when I returned from a fishing trip today, but when I got home, she had 3 chicks already. They weren't due to hatch until Wednesday.
Anyway, I still want to move her so her chicks can walk around and eat. She still has 3 eggs left to hatch. Can I still safely move her???
OK.... we have missed you!!!
 
If the others arent harrassing her or her chicks, I would wait to move them until she is finished hatching.

I'm whooped, and I'm pretty sure Sweet Pea is a drake. Photos of them tomorrow.
Pond is in. More dirt shuffling tomorrow and then I can put down grass seed.
There's no hardware cloth on the door either. Ugh. It is gorgeous for sure, but it will be the end of me if I don't finish tomorrow.

I forgot the photo. I'll get in there in the morning and sweep the dirt out.
It will have a pump, for draining and cleaning, and a submersible pump with a shower attached. Shower them with their poopy water...
 
Well, I moved BluBeard last night. It went real well.
She is a gentle broody and let me move her chicks, but did not want me to move her. She jumped on the ground, saw her chicks and eggs in the kennel and ran in.
There are 4 chicks
but I want one more. The 4 go to a friend and I want BluBeard to raise a baby. Taking her chicks is gonna really bother me and her.
 
Lots of sacrifices moving to the new format. But not the smilies!!! They took off ALL the chicken ones!! :( There is way to save them on your computer to use, but I don't know how.
