As a result of one broody changing her mind at the last moment I now have 12 eggs under a good broody hen and twelve more in an incubator. Both lots should hatch at the same time. If I get about 18 chicks can I combine both lots under the hen? Breed is Maran.

should be OK fen, just sneak the new uns under her one by one at night preferably, good luck sounds exciting!
