Putting chicks under a broody question...???

[Amyh]

I have a hen that just went broody in the last day or so. I also have some chicks that are between a week and two weeks old.

Can I put the chicks under the broody? Will she accept them so early in her broodiness? Will she accept them at a few weeks old instead of day olds?

No and no. She's been broody for too short time. She has to be broody for at least 12 to 15 days.
