hi when my hen got broody my sister asked me if id let her hatch some chicks for her so i did as u do.... i got 8 eggs as she wanted 4 hens  so new some would be cockeralls, but now 9 weeks on shes messed me about and saying she will only take 2 at a push, ive been the one feeding these chicks etc i have 6 as 2 didnt hatch, but i feel so let down as she asked for these and has now gone back on her word so what am i going to do with them? i cant keep them and only hatched them for her. any advice please girls? do i have a right to be angry with her?

I would say yes you have every right to be angry.  But it will only wind you  up even more!

As for the chicks either try to sell them, swap them for some food (theres a poultry swap section on this site) that way at least you get something back for raising them or your final option is to give them away.

What type of hens are they and where abouts are you?

as min says yes you have every right to be angry and I wouldn't now let her have any at all. Please do feel free to place a post on the swap shop section but I feel you may struggle getting a home for any boys  :(
Staffies are softer than you think.
