Too late to add eggs?

[rosawoodsii]

One of my bantams has gone broody, so after a few days I decided to let her hatch out a couple of Silkie eggs. Now I'm wondering if it's too late to add more eggs for her to hatch. This is day 3. I think she's still laying, but she's always on the nest.

If she is broody, she's not laying and if she is on day 3 I wouldn't give her any more eggs. Unless of course you took the chicks from her as they hatch, she might sit longer.

I might have to do that, as she has only one real egg and two wooden eggs under her. She sure didn't wait long to set, unless, of course, while I was taking away the eggs, she was still counting.
