Since my hen is broody and she's sitting on fertilized eggs, should I just let her raise the chicks on her own.
 
if she has plenty of room to do it i would strongly recommend letting her its much better that way
 
hi wanted to put in my 2 peeps worth.if you have the room there is a great pleasure watching a hen and her babies .they peck for the babies and will protect them .

I would also let her raise them as they are so fun to watch with momma. On the down side if you want them to be tamer you might have to take them away if momma dosent like you messing with them.

Guess you got her all settled with the fertile eggs ok? Glad to here it. Keep us posted:)
 
I would leave them be with momma! It is so much fun watching them. They will Protect them, Feed them, Water them and keep them warm.
