    Could a broody silkie hatch button quail?

    One of my silkie hens has gone broody once again. I have been wanting some buttons for awhile now. I was wondering if i could put maybe 6 button eggs under her and a couple silkie eggs and take out the buttons once they hatch and leave her to raise the silkies. Would it work? Thanks.
