No. Hens must be broody to look after chicks. Just giving any hen a chick will often result in the death of that chick as the older hen will discipline/attack a small chick.
Hens follow a pecking order which means intruders will be attacked to establish dominance. You can however slip a newly hatched chick under a brood hen close to reaching hatch day or a few days after hatch.

What to do if a chicken is ignoring its baby?
Firstly a hen has a chick, not a baby. If the hen is ignoring her chick it is best to take the chick away and place it in a brooder until it is old enough to survive among the flock on its own. Signs that a hen, is rejecting her chick: • Pecking at the chick - blood is normally visible, remove the chick immediately • Showing no sign of interest to the chick/s

How does the chick know when to hatch?
A chicken will not know it's egg from any other. After the eggs hatch, the hen and the chicks get to know the sounds that they each make. If a chick gets separated from the hen, it will cheep, and the hen clucks to it, and the chick will come running.
