I would keep her on the ground (if you put her up to high when/if the chicks hatch they can fall out and get hurt) As far as the non-fertile eggs go - just stick your hand under her grab them and stick any new eggs you want her to hatch under her !!

If you wait until it's dark, it's easier to slip your hand under her to remove the unfertile eggs and replace them with the fertile ones. She'll put up less of a fuss then.
