I have had lots of broodies, and never have to place the food in the nest. They do all these things , like eat and drink änd the "rest",by themselves. So you don't need to put the food there. Her instinct says to her ,the rigth time to get up.

My other broody, a meatie, gets up once a day at almost the same time each day, to eat, drink and poop. Hoping this SF figures it out, cuz she seriously doesn't like me messing with her.
