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.

What does the male emu do?
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.
When is the best time for a hen to hatch?
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.

Can you leave a chick in an incubator with unhatched eggs even if the eggs are getting kicked around can the new chick stay there he kicked them all around will thst kill em?
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.
How many offspring at one time do turkeys have?

What to do if the hen is having chicks and is not laying on all the eggs?
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.
