introducing a new chick to another hen with chicks

[derbydan]

I have a hen that has 5 chicks about a 2 weeks old doing good I have a chick from another hen about a 5-6 days old. This hen does not want the chick and pushed it out of the nest can i put it with the other hen and 2 week old chicks.
Thanks for the help.

Probably not, most hens will attack chicks that aren't their own. There's a small window to give a broody hen chicks, usually they should be given all at the same time. A few broody hens will take everything and anything but they are rare. You could try but be ready to remove it, but I personally would not.
