I'm new to chicks lol... And I have no clue ? Why it's posting the same photo multable times ! Sorry
 
Should I move her and the eggs to a huge dog crate I have ? Or just leave her alone ?
 
Collect fertile eggs until you've the amount you want then replace the eggs under her with them all at once. At night or when she's taking her daily bathroom and lunch break.

There's no reason to allow her to sit on unfertile eggs. Brooding is very hard on hens, if you don't want chicks then break her brood by caging her without nesting material for three days.

Using photos is not as easy as it was in the old web page. Copy and pasting works well.
