broody not leaving nest

[Mother of Chaos]

@Rick589 I was just reading through this thread. Good luck! I gave my broody fertilized eggs a few days for the first time so it's definitely a learning experience!

Also, I saw your question about stealing eggs and I thought you'd enjoy this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/do-your-hens-relocate-their-eggs.1663457/

During the course of yesterday, my broody stole two eggs from the adjoining nest. They're ceramic eggs.

So she is now triumphantly sitting on four egg-like objects, tuk tuk tuk-king and growling through the day. And night.

Oh boy..

My broody managed to steal plastic eggs too.

I placed my hen in a pen by herself so no one else can climb in her nest box or step on her head .None of her eggs will likely be broken unless she steps on one herself. I'm hoping she only has 3 to hatch
(edit) I'll likely order fertile eggs next time instead of hatching my own chicks from my hens
