This is something that naturally occurs in a hen's life. This process is called going "broody" this means that the hen is following its natural instinct and wants to hatch chicks. If you do not have a rooster to produce fertilised eggs or do not want any more chicks you can stop her from going broody. However when hens go broody it is hard to get them to stop however you have to be patient and let her naturally snap out of it. One of the easiest methods is to continually get her out of the house and distract her from going inside again, for example give her some treats or gently give her a 'massage'. If this does not work you could try blocking the house entrance, but this may prevent other hens from going in and laying eggs, going to sleep ect.
Hoped this helped, sorry if it is a bit confusing!
