When will the hen sit on the eggs

When can I expect her to actually sit the eggs and start the incubation process? Hens will start to sit usually when the 3rd egg is layed.  Every hen is different.  The hen will continue to come out and mate until she has decided her clutch is the right size for her.

How do you know when she is finished laying her clutch.?  The egg laying is finished when no more eggs show up with 2 days between each egg.
