ok thanksIt depends on your hen. Sometimes your hen will accept the babies and sometimes they won't. We had a hen that only hatched one baby, so we tried to add more, but she did not want them and was perfectly fine with the one she had. I think you could try putting the chicks in with your hen, and if she doesn't want them, just make sure you have a brooder already set up and ready just in case.
