Fostering chicks

[bluehare]

My hen hatched only. one chick a week ago. She is a diligent mother! Is is possible to get a few more chicks from the feed store and foster them to her? Would I just put them under her at night?

She has already imprinted on that one chick, and it is likely that she would regard any others as 'competition' and reject/injure them.
