I'm just try to find a way to have my questions answered I'm new to the chicken thing and am lost on what all I need to do I had a hen that would not get off the eggs and she was stalling the other hens eggs but know she stoped
 
Do you only have one nest box? Was the hen sitting on eggs, trying to hatch them? If so that is called being broody. A broody hen would not leave her eggs(she is keeping them warm) unless made to leave.

You may want to put "broody hen," in the search box so you can see if the description sounds like your hen.
 
Hi :welcome

Glad you could join us here! I too agree that she sounds like she was broody and has now decided to quit. Sometimes they do just give on the eggs. Do you have an incubator? If it's not been too long since she stopped sitting you may have a chance with then in an incubator.
Here are some threads on broody hens and in the article section ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/newsearch?search=Broody+hen+#

Enjoy your time here on BYC :frow
