Hello, so I have 5 geese eggs and 3 chicken eggs under a broody hen. Only one chick has lived and she hatched two days early, it made me a bit worried that mum would get up and leave.(Only got off briefly a few times.) So now I'm on day 28, my goose egg should hatch today, I went in and saw 2 started hatching, later I looked and my hen had gotten off, I put her back and she stayed put. Now I'm a bit worried that her getting off may have killed the other eggs. They haven't made much progress, should I be worried?
 
It's been about 7 hours since the eggs looked like this.

They look the same now, should I help them? It's been 7 hours.
 
It took our goose egg a long time to hatch. Like a full 24 hours or so before she made much progress. Hopefully others more experienced will chime in. But I've helped chicken eggs hatch before snd it endly badly with damaged chickens and they were much further along.
