broody not leaving nest

[McChooky]

Yes I've found this to be accurate. I make sure there's no eggs in other nest boxes before she comes back for that very reason, just saves me from having to move/handle her too much. I've got a few hens that do graft to a particular nest, but some others don't care what nest they're in, or what they're sitting on.
Juggling multiple broodys can be chore, but I like my broodys on their certain eggs mainly for their sit time schedule, this is where I have a block off or 2 ready so no other hens can get on those eggs while she's out with her dailys.

I need to clean up my incubator and get it ready in case she rejects any of the chicks.I seriously doubt she'll peck any of them but none of them will look like her except maybe 2

Might not be a bad idea...but I don't think she'll have a problem. I just had a failed hatch with a Black Copper Marans broody. (The 6 eggs were clear). Ended up having to rush to get 3 (Americanas) to shove under her and did it during the day. She took right to them and all is dreamy. The whole flock is black and no one looks at them as different.
