Can I put eggs that have been incubating for 18 days under a hen who’s been broody for just 3 days?

I have 2 broody hens. One has been sitting on her clutch for 19 days, the other hen has only been brooding for 3 full days now. If I give the 3 day broody a few of those eggs and she only has 5-6 total days of being in the broody “zone” before they hatch, is the shortened time likely to interfere with her mothering instincts? This would be her first time being a momma.
