Yes, she will stay broody, just leave her alone right now, don't bother her at all. Don't worry about her, just let her be. Don't separate her, don't move her to where you think is better.
Then when you get your chicks, make sure that each of them get a drink of water. Then put them outside, where it is a wee bit chilly, this will get them peeping like mad! You want that. People sometimes think that it is all on the broody hen, but the chick has to do their part too. Peeping and movement under neath them, shuts off the broody hormone into the mama hormone. In the dark, with a minimal flashlight, start putting the chicks in with her. She might peck, and to you it might seem hard, but cover her head to protect yourself, and keep sticking the chicks under her. If the chicks are cold enough, they will burrow in like a tick. If they are not cold, they may leave her, wander off and die.
The hardest part is once you got them in, you have to leave and not bother her at all, do not keep peeking, let them work it out. Your peeking can upset her. However, you can stand outside and listen, what should happen is her voice will change, and she will cluck to the chicks, and the chicks should get quiet. Warm chicks are quiet sleeping chicks. If so, you have a go. If you hear a single peeper, high pitched, he may have wandered out, and you can sneak back in, and quickly shove him under again, but leave them alone as much as possible.
Nothing is more fun than a hen and chicks, and she will do all the work.
