Will she continue to sit on them? she is with a rooster and hen and the other hen is pecking her when she comes out to eat and is adding eggs to her nest. Its mine and her first time any advice would be great.

when i move a broody hen, i typically put her in a shadowy dark place, in a good dry area. i usually don't put more than 8-10 eggs under her on large fowl. egg size is the factor, if they are small eggs you can get more. keep in mind the more eggs in the nest, the greater chances of an accidental broken egg, a broke egg at the wrong time can be detrimental to the hatch.

you should be fine moving her, occasionally it doesn't work.
