Hen should probably feed babies ok. We just lost a hen who had 5 babies. The dad has been feeding them all on his own for 2 weeks now. We lost 1 baby, but that quite often happens when there is so many babies anyway.
All past experience we've had, the remaining parents is generally pretty good at continuing on the feeding.
Good luck. Keep the hand mix on hand

Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue.
