How to convince hen to go broody

Hello,

I am trying to convince a gold top hen that she really wants to be broody, as space is lacking inside the house.

Any ideas?

Not all hens will go broody, even those who are supposed to be good at being broody. In order to help encourage her try leaving a few eggs either real or dummy ones in the nest box.
