If you add the potatoes, the cooking time may increase a little if space get
tight. With room around them, I'd cook at 375 for about an hour. Add the
potatoes and add maybe 15 minutes. Best to check with a meat thermometer
and take them to 160.

I'd also put a couple of carrots or celery stalks on the bottom to keep the
hens out of the drippings.
