She didn't feel confident with more than 4 eggs Bantamliam. Remember she has to cover them, but not necessarily sit on them, depends on the weather.

Keep her in a separate run against the others during the day. At night let her into the coop but block all the nest boxes off first -we use large upturned plant pots. If you don't have a run use a large dog cage but don't forget food, water and shelter from both sun and rain.
