Can you hatch both silkie and quail eggs under a broody hen - at the same time?

I’ve heard of people hatching quail under chicken hens, But has anyone mixed both together? The broody hen in question is an orpington.

I wouldn't do it. MAYBE the quail have a chance if you know when they hatch and take them out immediately.

Just do it! Tell me how it works out. I don't have quail so I wouldn't know
