rescued three week old chick

[maggiegigs]

My female orpington has gone broody. She is in the egg box for hours on end. I also have a rescued chick and was wondering if I could put the chick with her since they both need each other. But I need to be advised one way or another. Thank you.

you could defintely try; but at three weeks it might be tough getting your hen to believe the chick is actually its own baby. but put the two together; day or night; and see what happens! i have had the same situation with 4.5 week old chicks and my broody hen didn't accept them.
