Encouraging Broodiness???

[Mattemma]

I have 5 EEs and one RSL hen....plus a rooster. I am wondering how long should I let the eggs pile up in the nest box before I give up. I think yesterday there were about 6 eggs.Today is going on day 3. No one seems interested in sitting on the eggs.Give it a week and toss out the eggs?

I had 13 eggs in my nest, which took about 2 weeks before my two cochin hens went broody.

Well, my Austalorp lays one egg a day. She lays about 14 before sitting on them. So I want to say 14? Though my response is just an opinion based off of my girls. I have a frizzle cochin who has like 16 right now and she must not be done. She acts broody, I get excited thinking she is sitting... Then an hour later she is in her outside run scratching up a storm and there is a new egg in her box.
My Wynadotte never gets broody.
