If your hearing chirping its been sat on for a lot longer than a week.

That’s what I am not understanding, I have pine shavings in my coup so I am wondering if she had it hidden in them.

Rocking and chirping means it has been sat on at least 19 days.

I would put it back if I were you. Every single one of my Broody hens have always gotten up when the babies start pipping. They go dust bathe and stretch their legs, eat and have a massive poop. They're just getting ready for all of their impending motherly duties. The first time it freaked me out and I thought she had abandoned to the nest. But now, after 7 batches of babies, 100% of the moms have gotten up at that time for 20 to 30 minutes. We've never lost any of our babies from that.

That's a bonus. Did you put all the eggs in the nest or only the noisy one?
