Too hot for chicks?

Here’s an update: I went to the local feed store and picked up some chicks. There was one issue though, the two pairs of chicks were two different ages one pair being slightly older Easter eggers and the other pair being a younger unknown breed of chicks. Anyway I decided I shouldn’t give my broody hen the two older Easter eggers and gave her the two younger ones. She accepted them and treats them like her own which I’m relieved because I’ve had it go much worse. Here’s one picture I’ll try to get more later. Ignore how gross it looks in there they have access to the yard yet they choose to sit in the grossest area.

That's AWESOME!!!!
 
I have very unfortunate news. Just this afternoon a hawk came by and snatched her two chicks and no one else. Mother hen is distraught and and won’t stop cackling and I feel for her loss but I don’t know if there is anything I can do for her.
