    You can put a pile of ping pong balls in the nest box and this will sometimes send a hen who is hormonely inclined to go broody but its no guarantee.

    You need to either pur her in a broody break cage or plan on getting either fertile eggs for her to hatch or newly hatched chicks as it is very bad on their health to sit on nothing for long periods of time.
