Chickens is brooding and there is no rooster?

This is not uncommon. Chickens do not brood because they lay fertilized eggs, they brood because it is instinct and they will set eggs fertilized or not. Hens will and can set on golf balls if offered to the broody hen. Removal of eggs daily from the broody hen will dissuade her from maintaining her brooding but this could take a few days. Whenever possible, pick her up and take her away from the nesting box, continuing this until she gives up.
