returning baby ducks to mama

[quackandclucks]

my runner hen hatched out 14 babies as they hatched I collected them since she was having trouble keeping track of them and it was not a secure area my ducks free range and have a large pond so once the babies got away from the nest they were bait for several predators. I'm constructing a outside brooder pen which will be secure for them to live in until they free range with the others. my question can I reintroduce mama to the babies once the pen is ready should be tomorrow.

She may or may not accept them back. It's worth a try.
