are you leaving the eggs in the nest until a full set (clutch?) is laid?

put her in shut the door on her by blocking the entrance . let her out to eat drink n poop n put her back on the eggs ... bear in mind that if she is outside  she wont like sitting as her body is working on short day light hours..
still alive /............
