I went ahead and put the 3rd Dominique back in with the rest of the flock. She had made no attempt to gather the eggs in the nest to sit. She was walking around over them. Thank goodness none were broken.
I took those 8 eggs and divided them between the other 2. A couple of hours later, they had gathered them into the nest and are sitting comfortably.
Of course, within 5 minutes the stubborn Dominique was back on her nest in the coop with an Australorpe butting in. She will go back in the brood box tonight with hopes of finally breaking her.

DH went up to take care of the chickens for me. He called and said that the Dominique (one we left eggs under) has scattered her nest and eaten two of the eggs. 
She has plenty of food and nothing should have bothered her. Am I doing something wrong or is it just her?
The buff is still sitting.
