Thia is my first letting a hen hatch. I have a serama sitting on 6 eggs. Today I noticed I have a pip so babies are on the way!!! My question is Do I leave the babies woth her or remove them. Im in NJ day temps around 60 but at night we can get in the 40's. She is separated from the rest of the flock in the nesting box I removed the divider and they have food and water.

Let her have them. Don't interfere till after all are hatched.
Just observe from a distance to make sure she doesn't kill them. Definitely keep her separated from the other Birds for awhile.
