Hopping hen

[Doc1960]

I had several hens who lay in the same box. around 2:30 or 3:00 one if my hen got on the same nest laid her egg and say on them all night not getting up till this morning. My question is should I leave these eggs or remove them. Shes not pulling feathers like shes broody. She doesn't seem to have all the broody signs alrhough she will flatten way out while on the nest. I just dont want rotten eggs! I want at least one to go broody but don't want to make mistakes thinking one is thats not.i csll her hopping because on and off!

Collect all eggs daily.
If you want to leave a pile of 'bait' eggs, use fake ones.
If she actually goes full on broody, then you can decide what to do.
