A broody hen has been sitting on a nest of 9 eggs...6 of them hatched....the last one to hatch was on day 22 about 10:00 am this morning. I candled the remaining 3 eggs and see movement in 1 of them...what would you do?

I would leave them alone and let the broody do her job. She'll know when it's time to get off the nest.
