Broody raising two separate clutches?

[GammaPoppyLilyFlutter]

I have a broody Cochin that I'll be getting some chicks for. However, the only chicks I can get are Delawares right now, and my uncle (who will be owning the chicks after my broody raises them) wants them to be all separate breeds, preferably Raiders' colors. And the Dellies are limited for now. So if I gave my broody some chicks from one clutch, then introduced some more chicks to her later, would she accept them> I've heard of it happening, but I want to make sure.

Even if they're introduced at night?

Ditto. My one broody accepted her sisters chicks that were 4+ weeks old, but I didn't introduce them, they introduced themselves. Plus she was already used to these older chicks, since they were hatched in her flock.

Okay, thanks. So no chicks for me today.
