My Broody Hen is finally getting chicks...now what??

[KOdin]

So if I understand this thread correctly. You purchased day old chicks for your broody because your eggs are infertle?
Your hen does not know that and her nature tells her she must keep brooding for those eggs to hatch. Meanwhile she now has the chicks you gave her that NEED her to get off the nest and move them around for food and water. The eggs should have been removed when the chicks were added.
I'm glad she has accepted them.

Incorrect, I didn’t purchase any eggs or babies.

Sorry, this thread got kind of confusing with two people with broody hen questions.
