Hello again, Ralphie,
I admire your gumption but still tell you it is very unlikely as the two hormonal systems required to do as you allude are incompatible. One would conflict with the other and you would have either a layer OR A broody one; certainly not both. Somebody is salting your nest as a big joke if no other hen is about to do the job. You have some detective work to do! Oh, and did I tell you to have a Happy Thanksgiving despite your delusions?
Sincerely yours,
Neal, the Zooman (and avian reproductive physiologist, geneticist, et al)
