Is this to good an opportunity to miss?

[hcammack]

Ok so I got 11 new hens from Will Marrow yesterday. A few of them are laying here already

well I figure even though their culls (only for very small DQ's) they have been bred by amazing cockerals and the eggs should still be fertile. Well I don't have an incubator but guess what I do have A BROODY

Should I do it even though my mom would get mad or should I break the broody? I don't really have a place to put her the chicken tractor has two little pullets in quarantine in it and I have bad fox and racoon pressure but I could mark a few eggs and leave them with her in the coop and by the time they hatch the pullets may be big enough to go into the main flock and will have in been in quarantine in a month. SO my question is is this to good an opportunity to miss out on?
I could have pure BCM wellies delawares and Ameraucana

Here are the pictures of one of the eggs I already put in the fridge

and some of the parent birds

here is a wellsummer egg

Here is one of the BCM they were culls because of there smaller amount of coppering

Here are a Wellie, Dellie, and Marans :

There could also be BBS Ameraucana they are shy so no pictures.

What do you guys think should I go for it?

Did he have them seperated into their own breeding groups before you brought them home?

If so, I would hatch some eggs. You could have a week or so to collect before fertility is gone.

Yup each bird was in with roosters of its own breed and never mixed in with other flocks and my Mom just gave me the go ahead so its defently happening

Joy oh Joy ! So one welsummer, ameraucana, and marans were all sitting getting ready to lay when I went out

How should I mark the eggs and how many should I put under a standard Ameraucana hen? will it be a problem that she has been broody for a few days but I have been taking the eggs?

SO far I have two Wellsummer eggs and an Ameraucana egg I will also have a delaware egg by the end of the day and maybe more
