In my opinion, I would choose the old faithful, the hen. She is the best and most natural way to hatch your eggs.
It is also great for her to raise the chicks, as they will learn to be a proper chicken, just as long as you have alot of contact with the chicks while growing up, so they will see you as a second mom. Just make sure that you know the hen very well, or else you may have a problem getting to the chicks.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
