[CHICKENS-101] Anybody have success with slipping chicks under a setting hen?

 

Hi one of our hens has gone broody again this year - can't seem to break her - she has been setting for about 2 weeks now (on nothing). I have been shutting her out of the coop for a few hours a day, but she just goes right back to the nest when I let her in.

We got hatching eggs last year, and are toying with the idea of getting a few (3 or 4) day old chicks from mypetchicken to slip under her. But we are unsure if it would work or not.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,
Marsha
