Yes.
A rooster impregnates the hen with his sperm, which then remains viable for 21 days. If she's being mated again, she can set another clutch.
Will she? Dunno. Broodiness is not a guaranteed thing.

Solution? Get an incubator!

And for the record, a "biddy" more correctly refers to a young pullet. Newly hatched chickens are still called chicks. dO you live in the South?

Okay, I dont know why it matters, but I just like to get things straight.

I'll go back to my room, now....
