No rooster major broody lady

Do you have to remove her from the flock? She has the one nest and will let other go in a lay eggs as soon as one pops one out she pushes that chicken on and lays back down on the eggs.
I was thinking about marking the hatching eggs.

You don't have to move her.
I, and many others, just find it much easier to manage if they are separated by wire from the flock.
Definitely mark the hatching eggs, then daily remove any others laid in the nest.

What is safe to mark the eggs with?
The nest she has took is one that we have screwed it but I might be able to move it to a different area in the coop. When one of the ladies wants to lay she will go drink a little and eat and a very small short dust and right back in and waits till they are off the nest. She sleeps has slept in in the pass 3 or 4 nights.

What is safe to mark the eggs with?

Thick heavy pencil or a sharpie.
Mark a ring all the way around the egg, so it's easy to see.

If you do move her, do it and let get her settled, before you give her fresh fertile eggs.
