Any tips?

Need situation?? Is it a broody hen? How long she been sitting/ broody? Where is she located? (in a private fenced area from other chickens or in high up nest box or outside in an unprotected location?)
If she's broody and in a safe location and your ready and prepared for chicks, then go for it! .. Slip them under her at night if you like or when she's off the nest for a break you can put them in. Or just lift her up and put them under her -just depends on her behavior. With my chickens I just set the nest and they sit. What breed is your broody?

We don’t know she was a rescue hen

Chicken, we were thinking Quail be released there’s not much benefit from them

Ok, chicken eggs then. How long has she been broody? ..If she's in a safe place, place the eggs under her. If she's in a communal nest box then mark the eggs you give her because the other hens may lay on top so you will need to remove those ones.

Wait till night slip in and slowly place the eggs under her.
Good luck

I just realised you have another thread... Is this the quail eggs you are referring too from your other thread? Putting quail eggs under a broody? If so then please ignore my post because I don't know anything about quail sorry, only chickens.
