    Today my hen finally went broody she was sitting on 2 eggs so I put her by her self in another coop I went to check on her a little while ago and I found 3 eggs her coop is shut and the chickens can't get to her she is still sitting and it's get dark so I'm sure she's broody

    Yes, they can lay while going broody.
    But once they sit on those egg for 3 days and 3 nights(sign that they are truly broody) they will not lay.
