Anyone else have a New Hampshire that is super broody?

This is my New Hampshire broody, I got her and 10 others at t.s.c. the last week of February. They started laying the 3rd week of July and she started sitting the 2nd week of August and hatched 6 of 9 duck eggs. Now she is on the nest again just 8wks after hatching them.

My daughter nervously holdig one of my N.H.s

Not a question more of an observation. Just seemed strange to us since the n.h.'s originated from r.i.r. stock.

I have a flock of ten nh's. A friend bought rir's thr same day and while my flock is much calmer and fatter, I still cannot say for sure which will be roo's and which are pulletts. The rir's comb and wattles already mark them for culling. Both flocks are twelve weeks today.
