Adding baby chicks to a broody hen?

[MommyGirl]

Hey Everyone! I have a broody hen sitting on golf balls and I would like to add baby chicks under her so I was just looking for some tips on how to make this successful as I have never done this before! Thanks in advance

If she is an experienced mother and has been setting close to 21 days, generally fostering chicks is relatively easy. Place the chicks under her in the evening so that she can bond to them, and check on things early the next morning.

Thank you! She will be a first time momma so I’m not sure about that and when the chicks arrive she will only have been sitting for 14 days. Do you still think it’s possible?
