Broody hen

One of the hens has gone broody, every time I go into the hen house she is in the next box and when I go to collect the eggs she gets very cranky. I decided to isolate her and put 11 Jersey Giant eggs that I have been saving for the incubator under her and see what happens. After 24hrs she has pushed 3 eggs or to the edge, so now she is sitting on 8 eggs. I will candle them in a week before I leave for cape town and see what's happening, exciting stuff
