Is lettting your chickens sit unfamiliar eggs ok??

[TayFray!]

I got some quail and turkey and some bantam chicken eggs today, and i cant use my incubator becuase it is already being used for other uses, and i was wondering what i would need to do, if i wanted to let my hens just sit on the eggs, do I need to do anything, I have hens that sit them!

Go ahead and try it can't hurt to do it, I don't think there will be many problems with it folks do it all the time, unfamiliar eggs is not something they can figure out, your giving the chickens too much Brain credit. If the hen's end up kicking them out it's not because they weren't familiar with the egg's they just aren't broody enough, broody's will sit on a nukelear Warhead if you let them LOL.
