Will hen Abandon her eggs

[Girl4Chickens]

My chicken just hatched her first chick and there were two more but one died. The third egg hasn’t hatched and she left it so I put it right back under her. Will it hatch because it was 80 degrees and she left it for a few hours?

If it is viable, it may still hatch, but she will leave it again tomorrow with her chick if it has not hatched. Hens are biologically programed to leave the nest within 24 to 36 hours after the first chick hatches.

It has a good chance. Was it set when the others were?

Have you candled it yet to see if it looks like it's ready to hatch?

We have tried to use a very bright flash light but the shell is too dark to see.

Did you shine the flashlight into the fat end of the cell and did you do it in a very dark room? Have you tried a cell phone flashlight?
