I appreciate what Ridgerunner has posted as it does work
I had cochin bantam broody hens and It was as I described that worked for me
as to the age they were new hatched chicks that another hen did not want.
I would take them in a box to the house and put a light bulb on them...

When ever you introduce chicks to a Hen do this
FIRST wait till dark of night and then you can take a lantern to use for light
away from the hen. Do not have the light on the hen or chicks.
HAVE THE HEN AND CHICKS AWAY FROM OTHER CHICKENS ALONE.
FIRST BESURE AND TAKE YOUR HAND...
