egg sitters

IF I USED AND EGG INCUBATOR TO HATCH MY HEN EGGS, WOULD THE HENS LATER ON BE GOOD BROODERS OR THEY MAY LOST SOME INSTINCT IF THEY WERE ARTIFICIALLY HATCHED.

No, lots of hens go broody that were not broody raised.

Over time broodiness can be bred out by selecting hens that don't go broody and breeding them. Some breeds are more broody than others, but a lot depends on the individual.
