Not all hens make good broody hens and your hen may be one of them. Also, broody hens sometimes are not settled for a few days but then start brooding full time. If your hen has just started, wait a few days and she may start to brood as she should. You might want to give her fake eggs to brood until she is setting full time. Eggs can be stored a couple of week; after that they are less likely to hatch.
