Hen on dead eggs

[MissMandyinVT]

One of my very young hens decided to go broody 21 days ago, today I candled them and realized she was sitting on dead eggs. I removed them but the thing is the other hens keep laying in this spot, so I will not be able to stop her from sitting again, should I just let her sit on todays eggs? Or will she starve? Also, does she risk a chance of getting bored and leaving those eggs? She is 8 months old and I feel her other babies may have died from getting cold, 4 were dead early on and 2 were about half way developed, so sad.

You could put her in another area and let her sit on some fake eggs then get some chicks and put under her I think after so long they will stop sitting but I am not sure.
