my 10year old hen has laid 11 eggs 5 in august which were not fertile so they were removed from the nesting box then in September she laid another 6 eggs 2 which were broken which was removed she is sitting on 4 eggs at the moment the cock is feeding her and I think she is going to lay another egg is this normal if the eggs are not fertile again should I remove them iam getting quite concerned about her as she is always in the nesting box

That is a lot of eggs. It is best to leave the eggs with her because taking them away encourages her to lay more.
