They can have from 1 chick to 15 chicks in a brood.
A hen goes broody, which means she wants babies and will collect / sit on eggs. The eggs MUST be fertilized by the rooster to have baby chickens. The hen will sit on the eggs for average 21 days. During those days, the heat of her body heats the eggs, allowing the embryo to form. Right before hatching, the embryo will suck the yolk into it's belly, so that when it is born it doesn't have to eat for up to 2 days.
The chick hatches, and the mother hen takes care of it.
Chickens lay eggs; they don't have babies. Depending on the breed, a healthy chicken will and can lay one egg every 24 hours. Most breeds do not lay every day and no chicken lays more than once in any 24 hour period.

It all depends on how many eggs you have that are fertile a hen will sit on many eggs at a time or you can have an incubator which that all depends on what size your incubator is only one chick is born out of each egg.

Usually, a hen will lay an egg every day or every other day.
How ever many eggs the hen has access to and can successfully set on.
Up to 4 or 5.
A group of eggs/chicks laid or hatched together is often referred to as a "hatch", "brood" or "clutch".
a number of young hatched at one time, a family of young, is known as a Brood
You should have food out all the time for your baby chicks.
It depends on the species of bird. In many species, the male does not help rear the chicks. In some species, such as the ostrich, the male spends a good deal of time taking care of the chicks.
can bay chicks use sunlight? yes although the sun is not there all the time. but you can use a lightbulb at night when the sun goes

The male emu is the one who incubates the eggs. For the entire time he is sitting on the eggs that (usually) several females have laid, he does not eat or drink, but just stands several times a day to turn the eggs. That is the only movement he makes until the chicks have hatched. He is also the one who raises the chicks.
Springtime is the usual time to start a hatch. It depends on where you are and the weather conditions. Plan for the clutch to start incubation when temperatures reach above zero continually so the newly hatched chicks do not suffer from extreme cold. Naturally brooded chicks will use the broody hen for a heat source for about 3 weeks after hatch.
the chicks will be many
The chicks should all stay in the incubator until the hatch is complete and the chicks are fluffy and dry. They should all be moved to the brooder box at the same time. The chicks will roll the peeping eggs and that is ok. Sometimes the movement of the completed chicks will get the emerging chicks to begin and that is a good thing. Do not be hasty in removing the newly hatched chicks from the incubator, they can and should remain in there for up to 24 hrs.
as many as 18 eggs at a time. It takes about a month for the chicks to hatch.
Just let her be. The newly hatched chicks will take up some of momma's time and the room under her but the mother hen will adjust things by herself. Trying to do this for her will just stress her out and may cause her to leave the nest. The new chicks will find room under her wings eventually and mother hen will roll the unhatched eggs closer together.
