My Light Sussex (who was called Mother Hen

) once went on the compost heap and sat on 14 eggs and 10 hatched well, 3 are still alive and just celebrated their 4th birthday!

Good luck!

I had a hen in the spring that sat on 20! 14 of them hatched. She hid the nest and I didnt find it until she had been sitting on them for two weeks.
