Introducing 2 new chickens to one single Silkie hen that is currently broody = BAD IDEA?? Pls HELP!

[rockme]

Hello!

I have a 3 year old Silkie hen that is currently showing broody behaviour -

I want to introduce two new friends to her (4 month old silkie chicks), but maybe that is a bad
idea when she is broody? Maybe that would be very stressful to her? Or is it fine?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I would try, but don't leave them alone. Watch them until you know that they are going to get along. You might want to do short visits until they get used to eachother. She may just ignore them if she is broody.
