I have a really broody hen. I don;t have a rooster but was thinking of buying some day olds and putting them under her. Has anyone done that? It is so hot I was thinking that this might satisfy her. Also that way I can get some new blood here

Most hens will accept adopted chicks using the system you are considering. The longer she has been setting the greater the chance of success.So if I put the chicks under her at night and pull the egg she is sitting on won't she think she hatched them?
