I think I might when i get my new babies hatched on the 30th or the 1st

cause my hen hatches them, is it best to trim the feathers that have gotten stuck together so they dont get caught ?

Are you talking about your hens feather? If so, yes that is often done before hatching to protect the chicks from getting caught.
