Can I put day old chicks under a hen that has only been broody for 5 days

[hoosierhens101]

I may only have 1 or 2 chicks hatch in my incubator in 5 days. My hen went broody tonight. If I only get one chick can I put it under my hen. If I get 2 or 3 chicks I would prefer to raise them myself as my hen is very protective and I won't be able to touch the chicks. Any advice would be appreciated.

Depends on the hen.
