I have some 3 day old chicks that came from the hatchery and I'm trying to get my broody hen to accept them. She's been sitting on some eggs for about a week and tonight I tried to slip the babies under her. She pecked at them so hard I had to rescue them. I'm wondering if I should try again in a few hours because maybe it was too light out still and she wasn't sleepy enough.
Any suggestions on what I can do to try and make this next attempt tonight successful?
