Is this something that would work? Or just some made up stuff?

This post popped up on my Facebook. Just wondering if this information is something to really trust and use or if this is some made up bologna. TIA for your input.

Broody hens will sometimes accept baby chicks as their own. But if not wanting to hatch chicks and you do have a broody hen that you don't want to be broody there are other ways to break the broodiness and prevent the hen from sitting on the nest for so long (without hurting the hens health or whatever).

It's closer to fiction than truth. Typically, you have to wait until about 2 weeks into the broody cycle to hope she adopts the chicks. Even then, she may kill them.
