Accidental broody hen

[ILIKEDUCKS]

Hi people I have just bought 6 chicks and I had a missing hen around 2 weeks ago and I thought a fox get her when she was free ranging but today I found her under a deck with a clutch of eggs so she has been sitting one eggs for 2-3 weeks and I didn’t even know but because I have those 6 other chicks what should I do with the chicks the broody would hatch do I let her take care of it and hatch and raise them by themselves or take them when they hatch advice is appreciated

Don't take them away from her. Do you have a safe place for her to set and raise them, like in the coop or run? If you don't want to keep them maybe you could sell them @ say 4 or 5 weeks old.

I have a extra coop for them till they mature I will probably plan on selling most of them but I might keep one or two to keep the broody traits
