I have been taking the eggs. I even pull her out of the nest and carry her over to the food and water but she goes back and lays another egg to sit on.

A hen has to be broody for at least 2 weeks before they will adopt chicks. If she's been broody for longer than 4 weeks, it's unlikely that she will come out of it on her own. Some people find the idea of a cage cruel, but it really isn't any different than having her sit in a nest all day and night. And it works every time, even with the most determined hens.I'm not letting her incubate. Will she stop eventually? I even tried giving her chicks but she wasn't interested in them.
P even with the most determined hens.
