Have a question I have a broody hen who has been sittin gon eggs for 2 weeks I candled a week ago and she ended up with only 4 out of a dozen growing eggs. Today she broke one so I am thinking about taking the three remaining and giving her s dozen or more chicks that have hatched today will she take them? I will put her remaining 3 eggs into the incubator.has she been broody long enough to take the chicks? This is my first ever broody hen and I am rather excited about having a hen raise some chicks for me.
