Question about Heat Source

[CaitlynNichols]

Heya! I have a quick question to ask. We have two broody mothers whom are expecting to hatch eggs within the next two weeks (and this is the very first time we let the broody's do the job since we traditionally use an incubator during chick season.) Once they hatch do the chicks needs another source of heat like a lamp? Or will the mother be able to handle it all?

Thanks
