How long does Broodiness last?

[jjrj254]

I have a broody hen that had 13 eggs but only hatched out two but they died, the rest of the eggs were unfertilized, she continues to sit on the nest, would it be wise to add new fertile eggs for her to hatch or is it too late?

It totally depends on the chicken. She might realize nothing is happening and stop or lay for a lot longer.

She's an old English hen

I can put more eggs under my hens and they will keep setting, so it just depends .
