[CHICKENS-101] Mama hen and babies question

 

My black Serama hen came up on the back porch and made a nest in a bag of potting soil. Laid 6 eggs and has been setting on them very protectivly for almost 4 weeks. This morning I found one black chick under her and 5 unhatched eggs. This afternoon when I got home from running errands I found her on the porch floor with 2 chicks. I am thinking that I need to bring the hen, the 2 chicks and the nest into the house in a box or cage. Or should I bring in the chicks to the brooder and see if the hen will set on the remaining 4 eggs? What to do? These are the healthiest chicks I have ever seen! Advise please. Susan in Georgia
