So for the first ever time my hen went broody however she's sitting on to many eggs and when I try to take a few a way she pecks me + I don't even know if I want the eggs to hatch because I can buy any chick starter feed where I live ...what should I do

I did what u said and she was sitting on 14 eggs so I took them then left her with 2 hen eggs and a goose egg, so hopefully shell be happy ;?
 
The problem there is, the goose egg takes much longer to hatch than the chicken eggs. Once those chicks hatch, she'll have them off the nest long before that goose egg is ready to hatch.
