Will a broody hen adopt chicks after only a couple days of being broody??!

Everyone was right, she did not accept them. She didn't hurt them, but she did not acknowledge them at all. I pulled those chicks and waited a couple weeks (not quite the full 21 days) and put some newly hatched chicks under her. She raised them for quite some time. Good luck with yours!

Any more answers on how this went im in the same situation fml

It depends on the hen. I have a hen who will except anything. One year she decided the new pullets were hers, they were 12 weeks old and she made them sleep with her in the nesting box. She excepted chicks after a couple of days. But she might be the odd one. I have never seen such a broody hen.
