My guinea hen is very broody. She has been laying on a clutch for well over a month and no luck, i candled all eggs and no signs of life. I was just curious if I was to get keets from someone if she would foster them? She hatched eggs last year and was an amazing mother believe it or not.

You can try if you want to. Be prepared to brood the keets yourself.

Do not try to sneak them under her. Let some of the keets loose near her. If she is interested, she will call the keets to her. If she pecks at a keet, get them out of there right away.

A better idea would be to replace her infertile eggs with fertile eggs.
