    Is it ok to add an egg under a broody more than24 hours after she started sitting on another egg?

    Maybe. It really all depends on how long it takes the chick to hatch, and how motherly the broody is. Some hens won't accept any chicks after 24 hours of the first hatch, some will try to mother anything and everything, including older chicks from other hens.

    If the first egg hatches, be prepared for her to abandon the nest before that second egg hatches to take care of the first chick.
