Good or bad idea

So I don't know what else to do one of 6 chicks hatched from my broody hen. Their mom doesn't wanna leave the other eggs, so can I take Mom off the nest take the babies out put her back on feed and give the babies some eater then put them back under her.

I want to start tonight. So in a few minutes I'm just unsure if it's the right call

When did this chick hatch?

How long ago did the chick hatch? They are good for a few days living off the absorbed yolk.

You could always put chick feed and water in a shallow dish near them and it will eat when ready.

I wouldn't move her during hatch time.

So I was worried cause he did some adventuring and running around maybe he needed some water but he hatched this morning

I also was curious about if I can check on the eggs make sure there weren't any new eggs cause there was one this morning. I'm very new to this so thanks for the help.

Leave her and everything alone would be best.

Okay thanks everyone

Momma hen will know when it's time to take him exploring and abandon any unhatched eggs, if necessary. Trust nature.
