Are porcelain eggs giving my broody hen false hope?

I think that will save me a lot of stress. I want her and her future chicks to have the healthiest start possible.
Do you recommend the wire cage method also, or do you have another way you prefer using?

I learned to use the wire cage from the author of the article I linked in my first post.

She's broody because she wants/needs to hatch chicks. The fact that eggs are under her only encourage that, even if they're fake

How do you break a broody hen. Two of my Seramas are frequently broody and the other two aren't. After having to place large babies (from chicks available locally), I finally just took the eggs away. What should I do next time?

Put them in an open bottom cage for at least a week. Don't let them build a nest and if possible, elevate it to cool them down. Took my sebrights about 2 weeks before they quit last time
