Introducing chicks

[hells bells]

Our chicken sat on 12 eggs and only one hatched, 2 days later we succeeded in introducing 2 more chicks which were 2 weeks old. Wondering if we can try and introduce 2-3 more. These one are about a week old. Thanks

A lot depends on your broody, but in general, I would guess not. You could try, of course, but I would have a backup plan. My one hen who will adopt half-grown chicks (as I found out this spring) won't adopt any more after she's settled on her "brood."

Thanks for your reply, mist helpful, I won’t try introducing more chicks.
