This is my Bantam Silkie. Her name is Squib. She's decided to steal everyone else's eggs and hatch them before winter's even over. She drags them through mud and poo which is annoying cuz I like to leave the bloom on but can't let them sit all icky. Advice?

Give her her own private nesting box, the others are fighting in the box.
Candle the eggs, throw out the clears.
Since this is is likely a staggered hatch, you may want to get an incubator.

Toss all the eggs. Collect the eggs you want her to hatch and start them all at the same time. Mark them and remove any that don't belong daily. You can isolate her if you wish but I do not isolate mine.
