My broody had only been setting for about a week and I gave her some incubator eggs at day 18. So far only three hatched, and I lost one chick. If the rest don't hatch, could I bring the babies inside and give my broody another batch to set for me?

I really wanted her to raise the incubator chicks since I had seven of them, but with only two, I can keep them in the house and give her another batch of 7-8 to raise for me.
