tricking my broody hens?

[schaikin]

I have 2 hens setting on about 30 eggs. We are about 1 week past the due date. I have ordered more chicks today, and am expecting to get them in 2-3 days. I've never swapped eggs with chicks before, but was hoping to give it a try. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've not tried it but I hope someone more knowledgable than me.
