I have a broody hen, she has 4 eggs under her that should be hatching within the next few days I’m guessing. I bought 3 chicks at the feed store yesterday and I am wondering if I can slip the chicks underneath her tonight, and if she accepts them, will she still try to wait for the others to hatch? I candled a few days ago and they looked like about day 18 ish.
I’d love for her to adopt the feed store chicks but I also don’t want her to give up on the eggs that are about to hatch underneath her!
