Hello I have a hen who has been laying eggs she 4 in her nest I have left them in there because I want her to sit on them but she hasn’t been she only sits on them when she has to lay another egg then leaves them what can I do
 
If she’s not broody she won’t sit on them. There’s no way to make a hen broody, it’s just a natural thing that may or may not happen. I wouldn’t leave the eggs in the nest though, keep the fertile ones safe in a box and replace them with fake ones for now. Her eggs will store for 2 weeks before losing pretty much all viability.
