They will be fine outside, having a rooster helps a ton!

It is called to cluck.You say: The hen clucked at her chicks.
Yes.
If the brood hen is with them, they sleep under the hen. They stay safe and warm under her wings and body. Chicks raised in an artificial incubator are raised in a brooder box which maintains a constant temperature and humidity until the chicks are old enough to withstand the ambient outside/inside temperatures.

No. A broody hen will hatch a brood of chicks the way nature intended. Incubators or a brood hen are the only two ways to get chicks, egg won't hatch into chicks without the proper conditions of heat and humidity for 21 days.
Yes, the hen is careful not to squash the chicks. Hens sit on the clutch of eggs for three weeks without crushing them. Once the chicks start to hatch the hen is extra careful and often gets adjusts her position. The hatching chicks will stay under the mother hen for a few days and even when they venture out, they will dive back under her for protection.
they do this because ,if they are lost ,the hen will know where they are.
