Broody Hen stealing eggs?

This is a pic from the minute the babies first entered the run...you can see the other chickens off to the left...not giving the slightest interest in them.

Update!
so... my broody Cochin and Easter Egger Bantam decided to both cover the eggs. We candled and 4 of the 5 remaining ended up 'viable'. 3 hatched, the 4th didn't make it. None of the 3 'belong' to either of the hens..
We ended up with 2 babies that belong to my older hens that are sex-links and one buff brahma baby.
We sectioned off the part of the coop that they were in for about a week and gave them food and water in there. Saturday, we let them out into the coop to see how the other hens interacted. Everything is going well! The 2 moms are doing their job, and only one of my Wyandotes made a few moves to snag a chick but the Cochin took care of that situation.
They are even free-ranging close to the coop. I didn't realize how easy it would be to integrate new babies with their mommas... way easier than integrating chicks that I purchase separately!

Pic is not the best.. I took it from across the yard in order to give them their 'space'.

Great update...I love it when folks come back and finish their stories.
And a fine 'ending' to this story it is!
