I really am not a chicken expert, but I'll try to help. You mean your hen has gone broody, but she has no eggs under her?

How long as she been sitting? Maybe leave her and her eggs alone?

Personally i wait until l am totally sure that my hen is broody before giving her eggs - the first couple of days of showing broody behaviour is not necessarily the real thing. Once your hen spends the night in the next box as opposed to a roost then you can be fairly sure she is ready to sit.

Good luck!

I'm sorry I don't quite understand the problem. If she is broody please make sure she leaves the nest long enough to eat ,drink and poo. Some hens refuse to leave the nest and endanger their health by doing so.
