Is My hen Going to Hatch her eggs

Sorry I am new this , so if she is pooping on the eggs should I make her more room. How do make her more room? Should I get her a huge cardboard box for her?

All you got to do is place the food/water away from her so she can not eat on the nest----so she has to get out the nest to eat/drink then she will poop while she is up. If your confinement is not big enough for this---yes she needs more space to get off the nest. Maybe as simple as a second cage placed door to door so she has a place to exercise, eat, poop, etc.I like my hens to have some dirt to dust in if they want. I set 72 hens last year----not a one pooped their nest and all 72 had great hatched. """"I"""" Notice I said ""I"" would Never remove my hens from their nest----so they can eat, drink, poop, etc----I just let them have enough space where they can get up when they want and Leave them alone. Good Luck
 
Thanks for your help she had been nesting away from eggs and then I noticed I had kept the tower over the spot where light came in. When I removed it she began sitting the right spot. She has also been pooping away from the eggs now. But whenever she did she picked it off with her beak. We candled on day 14 two were yoggers, and the other one had a chick with an air sac AND HEALTHY, we hope that the egg will hatch tomorrow or Monday, but we will not know until she gets up.
