Can a chicken hatch diffrent eggs?
as long as she is broody yes,however you want to make sure that its breeds of bird where the chicks can walk when hatched,she wouldnt know to feed chicks like black birds have XD but I dont think you can get any eggs like that anyway,you must also check how long it takes for the egg to hatch,once one hatches she wont wait around long for the rest,so if the pheasant eggs take only 3 weeks while the rest take 4 the hen will probably leave the nest and eggs when the pheasants hatch,so watch out for that. ADD: putting them under her a week after might work,I suggest substituting,say you have 3 eggs that you want to put under her when the others are a week old,put 3 golf balls under her for that week,so that she doesnt notice the clutch size difference and eat the others,or reject the whole lot of them,then when you are ready,put the other 3 in and take the balls out.she wont know that the golf balls arent eggs.
