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.

Many chicks are artificially incubated and have no "parents" in that sense of the word. Chicks that are hatched under a hen will remain close to the hen as part of the flock for as long as they live. Chicks introduced to the flock at about 3 or 4 months old are assimilated into the flock within hours.
i dont know ask your momma
Eggs cannot be moved to a different nest but in regards to chicks, it depends on the bird. Birds such as swans, geese, and ducks will sometimes ferry their young around on their back which not only keeps the chicks dry, it also keeps them safe. In regards to birds such as robins, sparrows, starlings, etc., the young cannot leave the nest until they have fledged so for those types of birds, the answer to your question is generally no, they do not until the chicks learn how to fly.

Ducks usually leave the nest just after all the eggs have hatched because the mother bird does not feed the chicks, they have to find food for themselves and to do this best they need to be on water. Thus the mother duck will take them out of the nest and to water immediately.
