Breeding Zebra Finches?

I had a pair of zebra finches, they laid 6 eggs, the male died suddenly on December 27th. On January 1st, 2nd, and 3rd all of the six eggs hatched, This morning she laid a new egg? I've never had finches before, only canaries, and this never happened with them. I'm guessing it's best if I just leave it alone. But could that egg possibly be fertile?

She may not have finished laying all the eggs. It could be fertile. Leave it alone and let nature take its course.

It is very unlikely the egg is fertile. I think for now it is best to just leave the egg in the cage with the mother. As long as the babies are doing fine this shouldn't be a problem.

Normally, the pair of birds takes turns tending to the babies and keeping them warm and feeding them.
