Need help with confusing sapphire gems😩

Now she’s on and off of the nest? She goes on it, pulls some eggs under her, then goes off a couple minutes later. Every time she goes back she pulls more under her

Here’s a picture, there’s only 3 eggs she isn’t on. No puffing up or barking.

Now she’s on and off of the nest? She goes on for a sec,

Yay!!!
My leghorns were jumping on my Sapphire gems head the first day and ran her off the nest once.Next day I moved the nest box to the other side of the room and closed the screen door (so the flock could see and hear her but couldn't disturb her) I used a tarp to darken the room, gave her some eggs, a feeder and waterer and she stayed there until they hatched with the door closed.I opened the door after they hatched and she was reintegrated into the flock along with the chicks
 
She just sat on 2 eggs and stayed for a month, we didn’t have a roo then so we weren’t worried and didn’t bother her. We feed their eggs to the strays in our neighborhood so they leave our chickens alone🤷‍♂️
She may be never sit on eggs again if she sat 30 days and nothing hatched. When you don't have a rooster to fertilize the eggs break her from being broody or let her sit and slide chicks under her in 21 days

Sorry, I should’ve added that we gave her sapphy chicks but they somehow got into our run and drowned in our duck pond😢 she took them and raised them until they died.
