Ok so my hens eggs are hatching, what do i need to do? I would like to allow the hen to raise the chicks so is there anything I need to do or will she take care of everything?

She should be able to care for them by herself. Just make sure the chicks can reach the feed and water and she'll probably be fine. Of course, it's always a good idea to keep an eye on them....

they are currently in a milk crate, I guess i need to get momma and the babies moved into something a little more roomy?

I think something a bit bigger would be a good idea.

Is there anything else I need to know? Special feed, meds or anything like that? This is a first for me

Chick starter feed, if you don't have it yet. Maybe also chick grit or sand.
