New mum

[Kel20]

This mumma is only 11 months old and first time mumma.
So far only 1 chick we can see but she had 8 eggs under her.
Tomorrow will be day 2 of hatching.
Mum has been separated from all my other hens and has her own enclosure so she can be comfortable with her chicks.
I am very nervous of how my other hens and rooster will go with her and her new chicks.
How long before her chicks are strong enough to join the others?
What things do i need to look out for?
Thanks

Mom and babies need to be separated for at least 4 to 8 weeks. Do the see but don’t touch method and then slowly integrate them. Big chickens are not nice to little chickens.
