Well I have only had one chicken ever go broody (surprise it was a silkie) I all of a sudden have 3!!!! I lost 6 birds 2 weeks ago to a preditor and 3 ducks. So I replaced them with 9 chicks now this

Sorry to hear you lost some of your birds and ducks!

Do you know if the eggs are fertile? Are the new babies only a few day olds or can you stick them under the broody hen?

Well you could just give the broody hen the baby chicks and discard the eggs if they aren't developed much!

Wish you luck!
