Do i put my hen in broody jail?

[Bokk]

She went broody again and is making broody noises but she only sits on them at night even if she’s in the coop for a long time she won’t sit in the morning but she does refuse to get up for a little while after sitting but then gets up , because she wasn’t fully broody I tried other methods first but they didn’t work , should I just use broody jail or is that not necessary here? I’ll let her out in the morning but put her in jail at night, and yes I did consider letting her hatch eggs but I thinks it’s best if don’t

Depends how disruptive she is. This time of year sometimes they aren't as persistently broody and I may let them be if it isn't causing problems or driving me bonkers.

The biggest problem with leaving a hen broody is sometimes they get very depleted, and external parasites can get out of control which puts them at risk for illnesses.

She’s not causing any trouble mostly and she’s being very sweet but I did notice that she got broodier so I’m worried she’s gonna go full on broody , also I wanted to introduced new chickens and she’s being very skittish when she’s broody so I’m worried they‘ll pick on her

Than it sounds like you should break her by putting her in your broody pen for 3-5 days.
