Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Adorable! unfortunately you won't be able to put any that hatch in your makeshift incubator under the hen. It has been too long for them to imprint and she may hurt them. I'd make sure you have a source of chicks if only one of the bater chicks hatches-you don't want a lonely chick!

When it hatches do i leave it inside the container? Or do i put it outside the small container i have woodshaving in the big box and i will just move the heat lamp where it has a cool side and a heat side

Yep! Do you have a feed store near you? That could be a source of chicks. You could order from a hatchery, but you'd have to get a lot.

I would leave them be. Has the other one pipped? The heat lamp should keep them warm enough. Make sure that if the lid is sealed all the way on the plastic bin there are some airholes.
