My silkie hen has been sitting on 6 eggs, not sure of the due date but I've candeled them and they all have kicking little babies inside

Anyway my question is....if all goes well and I get some chicks, can I leave them in with the hen? I've never hatched with a broody before (always incubated) so this is a new experiance for me. Will the hen take care of them? I can bring them in if nessesary but my house is so full of animals right now lol. I'd like to leave them outside with her, but I just worry about the cold! also will the other silkies bother them? Please let me know what you think!
 
If she is broody then the chicks should be fine as for the cold is there a lamp in your coop if not get one and they wil be fine
