Anyone with a broody hen?

Hi.  I brought 2 x day old chicks for my broody hen (legbars so I know they are female) however she rejected them.  They are now 2 days old (hatched midday Saturday ) and under an infra red lamp in my spare room.  Does anyone have a broody who might take them or does anyone have any advice as to whether I should try to put them back under the hen.  Having attacked them Sunday morning  I took them away and kicked her out with the other hens.  She spent all Sunday afternoon sunbathing and dust bathing and then took up her position in the  nest and hasn't let anyone near her since!  Seems she was OK to sit on the chicks Saturday night but took fright on Sunday morninng when they moved!!  I thought I might try again on Thursday evening by bringing her into the garage in the dog crate and leaving her for 24 hours with the chicks (under the lamps) nearby so she could hear them cheeping for 24 hours.  Put them under her again late Friday night so I can keep a very close eye on her all Saturday.  My thinking is that they will be that little bit more robust if she does have a go at them. Any thoughts or are they too old by then?

Hens.....worse than teenagers!!!  lol

If I still lived in Crayford, I'd take them for you as I have about 7 broody's at the moment, but I'm a bit far away now I live in lincolnshire!!!   

It may work on a second try.

I had two of my girls decide they were adopting my Poland chicks when they were two weeks old and I took them out for the first time for ten mins in the run in the garden! I quickly moved a girl into a broody coop and she took them in with her happily - couldn't believe it and was gutted I hadn't tried it when they were day olds (neither girl was broody at the time they adopted them!). For the next 6 weeks the other girl paced the run on the broody coop all day looking most put out that she wasn't also in with "her" chicks with her sister (silkies are sooooo daft...)

I'd keep a very close eye and try the introduction as you mentioned, fingers crossed for you
