4 hours doesn't mean she's quit. If she quits then you can try the other girl. How long was she broody?

She was broody probably 2 weeks before I let her sit she was at 17 days when she left and since the. She hasn't wanted to sit anymore

I'd candle the eggs. Sometimes they can sense when the eggs have quit.

I've never had any of mine sense anything about the eggs lol. They will sit for weeks on a ceramic egg, no sixth sense there. I've pulled a rotten egg from under one, and put viable eggs back in the nest box after they'd been pushed out.
