If I give my chicken chicks to hatch will the others try and kill them

[mmg003]

My Buff Orpington went broody for the first time 2 days ago and I want to give her a few fertilized eggs to hatch. But I have 4 Rhode Island Reds, 5 black Orpington's and 2 Buffs. If I let the Buff that's going broody raise and hatch a couple of eggs will the others go after the babies when they are born or right after they are.

There is no definite Yes or No answer here. Some chickens will attack newborn chicks and kill them and some won't. I've lost new chicks this way, but many others have had no problems letting their broodies hatch and raise chicks with the rest of the flock. Let your hen hatch her chicks and when they hatch keep an eye on them and the rest of the flock, see how the hen behaves, if she's protective (she should be) and be prepared to move the hen and chicks, if needed, but hopefully it won't be.
