Crazy question if I got chicks and put them with a hen will she take care of them like her own

A hen must be in a "broody" state to have any motherly inclinations -- it is often possible to get a broody hen to accept/adopt chick that are not hatched beneath her, but a non-broody hen will not see chicks as her's to mother, rather she will see them as intruders into her space and will treat them as such, up to and including causing their death.
