Thanks so much for the help, I thought it was something serious until you told me about broody.

should I do?
it will all be over in a few weeks, being broody means that her hormones
are telling her to hatch out babies, wether there are eggs under her or
not, she will sit there for at least 3 weeks. I do what you do and I get
them off the nest a few times a day to make sure they eat and drink. If you
want to raise baby chicks, either put fertile eggs under her or wait a
couple weeks and sneek some baby chicks under her at night.
