Can I give her chicks

[Chicky_Baby]

OK, I know I am lazy but I am really just not into putting a box of chicks under my dining room table again especially in this hot summer weather. I have one broody hen and 4 others that are in good health but not interested in sitting on the eggs at the moment. Would it be possible to buy chicks and put them in the pen with the others in hopes of their being adopted or am giving the girls Chicken McNuggets? Sorry if this is a stupid question but this is my first year with hens.

A quick PS... if it is doable HOW do I go about doing it?

It depends on how big your broody is and how many chicks you have. I would not put any more in there than she can cover. You can slip them under her at night.
