Using broody hens

[Wildcow7]

So I’m getting a shipment of chicks on Friday and I have three very broody hens can I take them and put them in the chick pen will they take the chicks in as their own? TIA

I think you will have the best luck if you sneak the chicks under the hens in the night, taking the eggs away at that time.
