You've already done more than I do. I put food and water on the coop floor and leave everything else up to the hen.
What your coop, run, and pop door look like will affect this some. And each hen is different, can't forget that. My broody hens typically keep the chicks in the coop for a couple of days before they take them outside. Once mine take them outside they pretty much stay outside until close to bedtime. All day every day. At bedtime she brings them back in the coop to sleep. My nests are up high so the broody takes them to sleep on the coop floor somewhere. I don't have a nest on the floor, yours might use that nest or go somewhere else.
You need to be down there at bedtime to make sure all the chicks are OK. A couple of times a chick has gotten separated where it could not follow Mama. That is really rare but with these critters about anything can happen. If chick is separated it will be peeping for all it is worth. You will know.
Be careful if you pick up a broody hen. I killed a chick once. It crawled up under the broody hen's wing and I crushed it when I picked the broody up. Not a good feeling. I'll still pick a broody up if I have a need but I'm really careful when I do.
Congratulations on a success. Here's hoping for the best in the future.
