How many chicks can a broody serama handle?

[allebasi4]

Right now she’s sitting on 6 eggs that are on day 17, so we should be expecting some babies any day now.
I also have some of her eggs in the incubator which would probably do better hatching under her but I don’t want to overwhelm her by giving her more.
My main concern is that this is her first time being broody, she’s still pretty young. I’ll definitely watch her to see how she interacts with the chicks but I’m wondering if 6 would be too many for her to keep warm.. it’s in the high 50s during the day into the low 40s at night and it seems like sometimes she has trouble keeping herself warm because she’s so small. I could also bring her inside to raise the chicks, but I think it would be good for her to have them in her coop/run if she is able (the rooster/dad plays nice)
What do you guys think?

I think 6 would be okay. They are very tiny to start and they feather in quickly. Good idea to keep an eye on them.

I always had more than one broody, so there was never a problem keeping chicks warm. Even had 2 hens that shared one chick. They slept sided by side and doted on their one tiny baby.
