Yes. A setting hen should be isolated from the rest of the flock for the safety of the eggs, resulting chicks, and the brood hen, herself. Chicks have been successfully hatched without taking this precaution, but many who've done it have had problems resulting in dead or injured birds and low hatch rates. Results like these make it not worth the risk.

Why is your hen staying in her box all the time?
She is brooding which means she is going to try to hatch eggs into chicks. Some of the other hens will lay eggs near her and she will roll those eggs under herself. If you have a rooster in the flock and want some chicks you should let her stay where she is but if your flock has no rooster then take the eggs away from her.
What is the advantage of having a rooster with your flock of hens?
Roosters have several purposes. Mating and fertilizing the eggs is one main reason to keep a rooster. A rooster , by instinct, is the guardian of the flock. He is the first to respond to danger thus warning the rest of the flock of a problem and often is the first to be killed by a predator giving the other birds time to get away and seek shelter. The rooster is vocal in order that the hens know better what is going on around them at all times. Rooster vocalizations vary from situation to situation. The call of danger is much different that the call to seek roost at night. Hens that have wandered far from home can follow the call of the rooster back to safe shelter. As the adage goes for males of all species, "if you can't be handsome, be handy". Luckily, the rooster is often both.
If chickens go out on a field do they come back home?
They should. Free range chickens can wander quite far from home searching for food. The occasional hen will wander too far but a good rooster will call her back to the flock. As long as they are not attacked by a predator they will usually come back to the coop well before nightfall. It is best to allow new additions to the flock a chance to figure out that the coop is where they roost at night before allowing them to free range. Offering them a little food just at dusk will reinforce their desire to come home when the sun goes down and not seek shelter elsewhere.
