Make sure they are all safe from predators, and that the water container is suitable for chicks (i.e, not too deep, maybe put pebbles in the container for a few days so they don't drown ::) They and Mum will be ok on chick crumbs for about 6 weeks, by which time she will probably have had enough and want to go back to the flock, and they should be well feathered. At this time change their feed for Growers. Don't worry if the hatch is over 1/2 days and she seems to be ignoring the first chicks, they have enough food from the egg yolk for 36/48 hours. If the chick crumbs contain a coccidiostat there may be a withdrawal period for the eggs, so when Mum starts laying again allow for this. Good luck with the hatch, having 'supervised' a dozen or more hatches over the last 4 years I can tell you there's no feeling like seeing a new Mum with her chicks. Have just hatched six and have another broody with eleven eggs under her, just can't resist!
