Feed for mom hen in brooder box?

[CEO]

I’ve decided to put out broody chicken in a little box to hatch her chicks. I was planning on getting chick feed for them and water and grit. Will the mom eat the same stuff or should I get her something separate? Is there even any need for chick food separate than the feed the broody hen will eat?

Chickens if any age can eat chick feed, in fact, a lot people feed it instead of of layer, with Oster shell on the side.

it’s a little dog box with a ramp. I am planning on putting pine shavings and a small waterer and feeder on the inside and to makea little free range area that the ramp leads to. Does that sound good? Thanks for the help!
