If you can't get them out in time you can set up a roll away nesting box so she cant get to them. The other thing that is recommended is to blow and egg and then fill it with mustard or chilli so she gets a nasty shock when she bites into it.

Hi
I had this problem, so I put in a china egg seemed to do the job!

Hi
I found the fake eggs worked, I believe a beak bit is a good remedy too if they are persistant.
