Sorry no one answered yet.
I don't have an answer, but I am wondering if there is any update!

I've had hens do that some times. You know if a chick is in trouble? That sound they make? They do that if they are stuck, and the hen will try to help them. If the chick is strong enough to make a racket, it is strong enough to survive. I wouldn't worry about her, she sounds like she knows what she's doing
ETA: You're also not supposed to open the incubator when the eggs are hatching, but I've had several times when a hen will leave the nest to eat when an egg is pipped. They always hatch out just fine
