Have a hen setting 9 eggs due mid this week. I also have a friend hatching some chicks I've been wanting today. I would like to stuff a couple under momma when the others hatch and see if she'll take them but they'll be 4 to 5 days old by then. How old is too old to stick hatched chicks under a broody with day old chicks?
