Another poster here, anatess, is also maternally incubating and said their female has been eating every 10 days. I suppose it's all up to the female in question.

I would say no to adding additional eggs to the existing clutch. I don't know if she would or wouldn't accept them but I believe it would just cause too much stress. If you don't want a second female maternally incubating, just make sure you've got an incubator ready for them.
I did see ur post and i am amazed at how few people are letting them incubate on their own though I can see the stress of letting them oh I am so anxious or is it just as bad with an incubator oh my I think I see more grey hairs
