My little Sumatra Set & hatched 7 eggs ...so I would think a reg size one could do 10- 12 eggs .
Ive had a broody setting for almost 6 weeks ....i put new eggs under her...
It would be okay to put ones the same age under 1 hen ...give the new eggs to the newer broody .
Yes if chicks hatch after a few days..she will leave the eggs ...to take care of the chicks ...
Be prepared to fire up the incubator ....to continue the hatch.
Thanks for answering my broody questions, Gramma! And sorry about your hen. :-(
