I have a very broody hen, blue laced wyandotte, whose raised chicks from eggs before. My daughter had 2 feed store chicks that are about 2 weeks old. We had them in the house but are going on vacation and my DH didn't want to take care of them while we are gone. So last night, I tucked them under the broody hen to see what would happen. I checked on them a bunch last night and at 6.30am this morning, she was puffed up over them. Do you think that did the trick? Would she be likely to reject them now?
