What breed is she? Eggs hatch in 21 days. If you put the chicks under her
when the eggs are due to hatch, she should accept them. I've done this with
a few chickens. I find it's best if you put them under her during the night
when she is sleeping. That way if she is a more skittish hen, she will be
more relaxed and you have a better chance of her taking them.
