First time hatching with a broody hen...question?

[clarmayfarm]

I have two bantam cochins who have been sitting loyally, and the first one had two babies hatch today. She has 3 more eggs, and I have read that you should remove the first babies so she will stay and hatch the others.

Is this true, or is it okay to leave them all together?

I have her crated away from other chickens; she can get up, eat, and drink, but not walk outside.

Thanks!!!

Since they are seperated, leave em be. They will be fine.

Let the hen do what she does best!
