Make that 7 sitting on eggs. I've got another one with all the signs.

At one of the university experiment stations, they build brooding houses that accommodate two hens and 40 chicks. To save room, they take eggs from some hens and put them under other sitting hens until they have 20 per sitting hen. Hens left without eggs are put back in with the flock. I don't know if you would want to do it that way, but at least you know it is an option if you don't have the room to accommodate all of your broody hens.
