Tricking broody with chicks

[chickenwoods]

I have a brown leghorn who has been broody for a few weeks and she is a TIGHT TIGHT setter. mean too.

I really want buff orps,and more black austrolorps.and purebreeds.instead of my hens mutt offspring lol

i plan on buying some and stuffing them under her at midnight.
I hope to do it on a friday night so saturday morning i will be able to get there at sunup and make sure she doesnt kill them.

OH, btw originally i did not want her to set so i take all her eggs and check under her and take the eggs the other hens lay in her nestbox.so she doesnt have any.

Is there any hope?? Has it been done?? succsesfully?

There's a good chance she might try to kill them, or she may just ignore them. But give it a shot, it may just work out.
