Then you have made your decision. After a week you cannot put more eggs under her and expect them to hatch. As Flockwatcher said, the hen will abandon the eggs after the first chick hatches, usually the next day, certainly within two. The hen has to take the chicks that have hatched to find food and water.
If she has gone broody once, she may go broody again later. Next time she or one of your others goes broody, collect all the eggs you want her to hatch and start them all at the same time. You can put fake eggs like golf balls under her while you are collecting and marking the real eggs. After this experience you know much better what to do next time, but your opportunity this time has passed.
