Broody hen on non-fertilized eggs! What to do??

[Priscilla08]

I have a hen that went broody about a week ago the eggs she is siting on are not fertilized. I am debating if I should put chicks under her or if I should break her broodiness. We also have a time issue because we are going away at the end of August so we won't be able to care for her and the baby's. Any opinions on what to do?

With you leaving soon, it seems to me this is a no brainer. Break her.

Break her, not a good time for her or you to have babies to watch.
