broody hen question

[greathorse]

I have a cuckoo Marans hen that just went broody. I dont at the moment have a fertile rooster on the place so have no eggs to put under her. I did just (today) hatch some guinea Keets. If I put a few keets under her will she likely care for them and get off the nest or will she just stay there in spite of the fact that they have miracously hatched in about three days of broodiness.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It is VERY unlikely that the hen will accept any kind of chick after only three days of being broody. I would actually expect her to try to drive them away.
