The couple of times I've tried it with chicks didn't work. I think they weren't close enough to the 21 days. They would have killed the chicks if I had left them. People say to go in at night and try putting them under. When I tried that, the hen freaked out like a mouse had gone under her. Maybe if you go out with ducklings in a small box, and she can hear them peeping and see how she reacts. I think it is very individual. I know someone with a hen who will take chicks without being broody first.

Red had a hen that did, didn't he? I was watching the birds in their new run today... A bunch of tiny starlings were in there eating with them and they ignored them.. didn't care, but when it came to chicks... they wanted to eat them.
