Stuff to know about getting a hen to adopt chicks?
A hen will likely not adopt chicks unless she has chicks of the same age already. Hens will protect her nest from even the smallest chicks introduced so it is not a good idea to try to force a hen to "mother" newly hatched chicks. Keep the young chicks in the brooder box until they are older and can defend themselves. It is not the rooster they need to worry about, he will ignore them, the most damage will come from older hens establishing the pecking order of the flock. Chicks and mother can be introduced back into the flock by about 2 to 3 months. There will still be some squabbling, but the chicks are old enough and fast enough to escape the worst of the punishment. Momma hen will help them. There is not much worry from the rooster.
Why do chicks turn out so tiny when come out of their egg?
The reason for that is because the egg of a bird is mainly made up of yolk. Yolk is what feeds and provides the still developing chick with food and other nutrients essential for survival until they hatch, therefore, since most of the egg is yolk, then the chicks that hatch are of reasonably small size compared to the egg they hatched from.

You have two chicks that have hatched on time but one egg still not hatched but when candled does have something in it Should you help?
No allow the egg to remain in the incubator for up to 24 hrs more and bump up the humidity. If you help, you may do more damage than good. The chick inside the shell must start the process of peeping and break the inner membrane to stop blood flow. If you try to help now, you could start a bleed that would kill the chick.
