Hen went broody again, if I bought express shipped hatching eggs???

Would that work to sit them under her? She's a proven momma (too many times haha) but I will they get here fast enough and will any hatch...I know those two factors can't be answered but is it a bad idea? Ok, idea?

Thanks!

Not a bad idea, I usually have about 50 % hatch rate with shipped eggs, and 1 thing I always do, whether eggs are from a hatchery or eBay, I always let them rest (sit pointy end down) for 12 hours prior to putting under my hens. I don't know if letting them rest is necessary but one of the people I bought from online told me to do it and my hatch rate went up. Hope this helps
