I just keep taking the eggs. Others put them in a separate cage. Lots of information on here on how to break a broody.

I normally take mine out of the box and put them in a suspended wire-bottomed cage for a day or two with food and water, but no bedding and gather any eggs they leg. It needs to be suspended so they can feel air under them. They normally break then. Sometimes they can take 3-4 days if they are stubborn. I'll take them out daily and put them on the ground to walk around and watch what they do. If they try to hop right back into the nest box and sit, back in the cage they go for another night.
