Broody hen???

Ok thank you so much for the help!

She might not sit on the eggs if you place them somewhere else. Some broodies will accept the change and some will abandon the clutch. You can mark the eggs she's been sitting on with a pencil and remove the eggs other hens are laying in the same spot.
Check to see if your broody is indeed getting out to eat, drink and poop at least once a day to make sure she stays healthy throughout the incubation period. She will take care of turning the eggs, no need to worry about that.
If other hens are bothering her, you may try blocking their access to the broody.
This is just the very basics and I hope it has helped. There are great threads about this subject here at BYC w a lot of good info.
Best of luck and hope you have lots of cute chicks soon!

You'll need to decide if you want her to hatch out some chicks, and how you will 'manage' it.
Do you have, or can you get, some fertile eggs?
Do you have the space needed? She may need to be separated by wire from the rest of the flock.
Do you have a plan on what to do with the inevitable males? Rehome, butcher, keep in separate 'bachelor pad'?
If you decide to let her hatch out some fertile eggs, this is a great thread for reference and to ask questions.
It a long one but just start reading the first few pages, then browse thru some more at random.

If you don't want her to hatch out chicks, best to break her broodiness promptly.
My experience went like this: After her setting for 3 days and nights in the nest, I put her in a wire dog crate with smaller wire on the bottom but no bedding, set up on a couple of 4x4's right in the coop and I would feed her some crumble a couple times a day.

I let her out a couple times a day(you don't have to) and she would go out into the run, drop a huge turd, race around running, take a vigorous dust bath then head back to the nest... at which point I put her back in the crate. Each time her outings would lengthen a bit, eating, drinking and scratching more and on the 3rd afternoon she stayed out of the nest and went to roost that evening...event over, back to normal tho she didn't lay for another week or two.
