Broody Hens raising chicks

[Deer lane farm]

I successfully hatched one chick with a Broody hen and she is raising her perfectly in the flock. I want to try incubate eggs. My question is, is it possable to us an incubator for eggs for most of the time, but then slip them under a broody hen in the last couple days so that she will raise them with the flock?

It is possible as long as you have a good broody.
