After a chick hatches in an incubator...

Can it go in with a broody hen and her chicks that she has hatched?? Thanks!

That depends on your broody. Some hens will adopt just about any kind of baby, others aren't having any of that. How old are her chicks? If they're older, a hen typically wont accept a new addition. And, sometimes if they do, the other bigger chicks will trample/squish the newbie.
If you decide to do it, most recommend that you slip the chick under the hen at night. Watch for a few minutes to make sure it stays there, then check on everyone AS EARLY as possible in the morning. Good luck.

Mama's chicks are about 2 weeks old. May try tomorrow night. Thanks!
