Did anybody try to put less than a week old chicks under a broody hen during the night? The chicks are not her own chicks. Is she going to accept it as her own chick? I have a broody hen before, who doesn't want to stop incubating the unfertilized eggs, even after more than 52 days (I added some more eggs that I thought it is fertilized after the 26th day, but it turns out that they are not fertilized) since she started incubating.
 
I have but she was already had some of her own hatched. Don't put a different color one in there after a few days. She won't accept it
