How can we stop our chickens from nesting on pretend (plastic golf balls) eggs?

Patty asked:
We put plastic golf balls in our nesting boxes in our coop, and it encourages the chickens to lay eggs, and also deters them from pecking the eggs. Except now we have one that has been nesting on several of the plastic balls for a few weeks, and we’re worried that because they won’t hatch, she’ll stay their forever out of devotion to her “plastic” eggs…..Help!
