This was all my grand scheme. There is no one else to blame. I should have just let everything be.
Agree with @micstrachan , because you cannot really know end results ahead of time. Trying is the only way to know if something will succeed.
I've not got the experience, but from what I gather it was not clear how this would go in the most auspicious circumstances. Phyllis is not a proven broody mama. How she would deal with even day-old chicks. Maybe better chances with eggs because there's the audible communication and other signals back and forth from chicks in the egg and mama hen, which trains and prepares them both. But how long or well she would raise the chicks before being "done" with them isn't known either.
