Hi everyone my name is Deneen I live in KY and I'm new at this raising silky chicken's

[Denensivet]

I have two hen's and a rooster they are almost one year old and we've noticed that one of the hen's wasn't coming out of the coop very often and to our surprise 3 day's ago we heard chirping and sure enough there's 2 baby chick's I tried to get momma and baby's out to take them inside for a few weeks but the momma didn't go for that . I don't want anything to happen to them but I'm not real sure what to do next . Any all suggestions will be appreciated thank you all in advance

Hello Deneen and welcome to BYC. You found an Amazing Poultry Community to be a part of, with many knowledgeable members who are willing to help you along your journey with any questions you may have. Enjoy

If predators can't get to the chicks, I would think momma will take care of them just fine.

Hello, Deneen, and welcome to BYC. Depending upon the weather conditions and security from predators, the mother knows what to do. Keep her safe, warm, properly fed, and she will do the rest.

I thought so myself but it has been down in the teens here I think the coldest day's are gone for now, I hope so anyway. How about vitamins for the chick's or anything else I might need to know and thank you for your help

A nice low box in the coop can do wonders as long as the coop is safe.
Welcome to Backyard Chickens just my two cents.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
As long as the flock is in a predator proof coop and run I would do nothing but leave her to raise the chicks.
However, you should have the entire flock on Flock Raiser, chick starter, or All Flock so that she has something appropriate to feed the chicks. Just put a container of oyster shell on the side for your other hen who is probably still actively laying. Congratulations on the chicks!
