Hens usually brood in spring and summer, but quite a few will brood in the colder months. Unfortunately there’s no direct way to encourage them to brood, you just have to be patient. It helps to have a “broody” breed, a breed with a higher tendency to brood (like a silkie, Orpington or a Pekin) but even then, you can’t guarantee broodiness. You could try allowing a clutch to build (I would recommend replacing with fake eggs though) and offering a quiet dark nest box, though this too, will not guarantee a result. If you really want chicks from your flock you could borrow an incubator and brooder or invest in one.

This may help.

Yes taking her out of the nest box is a good thing to do. Silkies sure can be determined though when it comes to broodiness. You may need to break her by putting her in wire bottom cage to try and stop her nesting.
