All this talk of brooding is making me reconsider my plans. In the case that one of mine sets this spring, I might let them parent the appenzellers. One of my fears for letting a hen set chickens was that the newborn chicks wouldn't like me. But from the examples from @BY Bob and @RebeccaBoyd , I'm a little more confident in the idea as their hen raised chicks were still friendly with them.

Best to let nature take its course (if you can) the birds learn to love humans, but being hatched by mama is very important!
