Hi there!
Is there any evidence of pipping from the eggs? Have you managed to candle them recently?. Another clue is if you tap gently you might hear a chick inside -or if you  hear a sloshing sound this could mean that the egg is infertile and therefore may actually explode. Very unpleasant.
Congrats on your little chick! My broody has hatched 5 this weekend and two are Pekins.
