Broody hen

[ryansmom06]

I have a broody hen for about 2 weeks. Tried putting babies under her she sat for a few minutes then got up. When she laid back down the babies wouldn’t go under her, and she did nothing. How do I know if they accept each other?

The best way to foster chicks is to put them under the hen at night so that they bond with one another over the evening. Physically put the chicks back under the hen and monitor closely. Good luck.
