CRAZY QUESTION!

We have TWO BCM hens that have gone broody! Right at this moment they are in the coop side-by-side setting on some fake eggs LOL.
We only have one small separate coop to use as a "maternity ward" so my question is this-
Can we set them both on hatching eggs in separate corners of the same coop to set and hatch eggs? I know they all have different personalities, but has anyone else ever done this?
 
I would only use one hen for hatching and break the other. Mother hens are very protective of their babies. Once the chicks hatch the mothers will be even more on guard and can potentially hurt each other or each others babies.
