Sneak them under her while she's sleeping? What about the chicks? Would they readily accept their new adoptive mama? I can call a couple feed stores and see who has the youngest chicks. Originally Posted by Rainwolf

that will be much easier to find then someone willing to give up almost ready to hatch eggs.... Plus the transporting of the eggs at that stage would most likely kill them by bouncing them enough to rip a blood vein or something.

Yes sneak them in under her at night and leave them there until she allows them out or she might attack cuz they don't "listen". the chicks will take to her as long as they are as close to day olds as you can get. it might take a couple days for them to learn to talk to mama... but be there in the morning to watch if you can.
