First time broody hen?

[Jmwah_12]

So I previously posted about how I thought my hen was broody, because she stopped laying eggs and would not let me touch her and would stay huddled in a corner. But I did a test and I found out she is broody because I put some eggs from my incubator near her and she put them under her. Any advice for her or me? This is my first time having a broody hen ever and I’m not too sure what to do besides the regular things like food water etc

She'll get up when she needs to eat and/or drink.

What day of incubation are those egg on?
Not sure that was a good idea.
Would be better to set her up in a good place, see if she stays setting, and give her day old chicks if she stays put for a couple weeks.

These are fairly new, less than a few days, just collected from her a few days before she went broody. But I will definitely give that a go and separate her to see if she’ll budge.
