I have a question if anyone has the time to help out

How soon can you tell if a hen will reject a chick? I hatched 7 chicks in my incubator last night. Today, I put two chicks under my broody hen. She’s never hatched her own chicks before, so I figured I’d start with just two. So far she’s been sitting quietly on the chicks for an hour. If she were to reject these chicks, would it have been instantly? I don’t want to leave them unsupervised in case of an issue.

Update: I’m going to consider this an acceptance. So cute.
