Baby chicks and the rest of the flock

[Annaegg21]

We have 4 fertilised eggs being sat on by one of my chikens. I also have 2 other hens in the flock. At the moment the mother hen is sitting on the eggs by herself but when they hatch will they be alright with the other hens?

If she's a good mama she'll protect them. But it's a good idea to keep a close eye on the hens behavior after the chicks hatch, in case the mama doesn't do her job right.

Our hatch is due tomorrow by a BO. She has been sitting in one of egg laying boxes, but sometimes got bothered by her sisters quarrel/competition of laying boxes. We finally built a separate coops and fenced area next to the big coop. Fingers are crossed for tomorrow (I didn't candle or do anything other than trying to make sure the first time mama okay)
