I cant stop looking at it ....pops straight out of the egg and is chooking around with its mother ..GAWJUS just GAWJUS

So will the hen go back to incubating the remaining eggs ? She seems happy to have her baby and hasn't been back on the eggs all day ...

Probably not, usually go back at night and brood the young.
