My hen is broody. She has no eggs, but has been taking eggs from other birds (not fertile). I have turkey eggs due to hatch any day now. Should I give her 1-2 eggs to hatch or can I give her freshly hatched poults under her?

Still can't tell if mine are hens or roos. they are now 17 weeks old! Their parants where BCMs x EE.
None of them started to crow yet... Combs are red.
