I can't seem to ever hatch anything.

How many eggs can I give a chicken of this size?
400
I've had them sit on 25 + eggs depending on size eggs and even the ones on outside which weren't covered fully still hatched but I would get a 2 x 4 box or something around the best cause hens tend to move eggs a bunch and they can kick one out and I've had tons of hens not go to retrieve the one egg or something w sides
 
I don't have a lot of luck with Britney's sometimes they do well and sometimes they don't but I have found that if you know someone who's good with hatching chicks and you have her take eggs at the same time you give eggs to a Broody and then slide those chicks underneath the Broody when she's hatching the others while she raises them no brooder :)

She can probably have at least 10, but 8 are more manageable. She won't be constantly poking the eggs back under her feathers. Is this the broody? It's rare for a RIR to go broody, so embrace it if this is the one.
