And then, 5 days overdue

We have some hens who are sitting on eggs as noted here. Due. date was 5 days ago .We've been looking  and nothing has been happening,  no cheeping heard, so this morning the plan was to remove the presumed infertile eggs, ban the cockerel who obviously hasnt been performing to the moorland from whence he will end up eventually  like this, and to return the broody hen to the field with the others.
And lo and behold, we have some chicks !
 So the hen gets to stay , the cockerel gets  reprieve and we wait and see what happens with the 3 remaining eggs.
