Have you been able to candle the eggs?

From candling, I found 2 of the 3 eggs under one hen should hatch any time now. Because she is such a super-mom, I changed egg places with 6 from the other coop under her (about 2 more weeks for those) and put the 2 about to hatch in the big coop. There are 11 hens in that coop and I am unsure what to do as far as blocking them off from the babies. Do I put a waterer and chick feeder in their nook? What do I do with mom who will be with them and needs her own water and food? I don't know how 10 other hens will react so I was hoping to give them at least a week of a fighting chance before letting the keets see everyone. Any suggestions? Time is of the essence-
