you can if she is fully in the "broody mood" as my grandma would call it. They should be ok but be ware if this if this is the first time the hen has gone broody she could accidentaly starve the chicks or herself so keep an eye out but other then that and the size of the chicks (the fit through most chicken wire) you should be good.
