I hate to say this, but more and likley those eggs aren't going to hatch. I had a banty (Buffy) setting on 7 and when 5 had hatched she waited 1 more day for the other 2 and when they didn't hatch, she wouldn't set on them no more! And when I broke them open, they wasn't fertile. So I guess she knew that they wasn't going to hatch. So if it was me and she has rolled them out of the nest, I would take them out and gently break them open just in case it had a chick in it. I've read that a rotten egg can give off toxins! So I wouldn't want her to set on them to long and her and the babies get sick! Hope this helps and good luck with your babies!
