Welcome to BYC, M.J.! I'm sorry for your loss.
I raise all my chicks outside.
I have a brooder in the run. I use a mama heating pad when I don't have a broody to raise them. This makes integration less stressful.
If you can sit up a brooder in your coop, your hen will have company. After a few weeks the chicks will be able to join her with few, or no problems.
Best of luck!
