If you leave them she will eventually give up on them but it could take a while. Best thing is to try and remove them one at a time and replace with either wooden eggs that you can get from pet shops or pebbles of the same size.

Hope that helps!

Is this just a hen on her own no male involved and kept as a pet theres no harm leaving her on them for a while by the way either way

oh right 2 weeks then id suggest as stalborg suggested remove one now but then every 2 days dont introduce any dummy eggs at this time that should be time enough if she,s already been sat 2 week on infertilie eggs

If she dos this again i would post on here seeing as she,s a good sitter you never know when some one could be in need of a sitter.Things do go wrong when ppl get too many eggs/the hen wont sit or hen may have died ect

dont take them away she will laymore like you said and that can be dangerous for a bird to keep laying she will get fed up eventually then remove them , dont put nesting boxes in to encourage her if you do i have afrisky amazon that wants to mate with my grey at the moment its not going to happen haha
