Broody Hen

[LOWRYCHICK]

I have a very broody hen who I can't seem to break from it. She stays in the coop and sits on all the eggs, but where I live, I cannot have any roosters so the eggs will never hatch. My question is, if I get some eggs from a hatchery and she sits on them, will they hatch?

She will incubate and hatch any fertile eggs.

If you get her fertile eggs (even from the grocery store) they should hatch. You can also just give her fake eggs and then in 2-3 weeks slip day old chicks from the farm supply under her (I just did this last Friday with two of mine).
