Someone asked the same question recently--I can't find the thread though. It sounds like it's possible, but a little risky because the button eggs are SO small. Sorry I am not much help--I don't have any birds... YET!

I suppose you could try it. If she is a small hen. You would need to be careful what nesting materials you use because the eggs might get lost. maybe she would not even know they are eggs!
