Question??

My Babs laid her second egg today. The first was on Tuesday. Prior to Tuesday we had 4 days of her going around scratching and chattering and inspecting all sorts of odd corners of the coop.
Then on Tuesday we had 3 hours with a lot of fussing about before the first egg.
So I think what yours is doing looks normal - I am much less experienced than @azygous so I am relieved she came to the same conclusion!.
One thought, many (not all) hens like to have a bit of a hollow bowl-shaped nest - she may make that herself if you give her more bedding up where she seems to want to be.
Alternatively you could help her out a bit. I give mine dishwashing bowls that are filled with shavings and they hollow out their little nests in those.
We brought her inside I had a box set up for her. She calmed down and layed an egg and was okay. And yeah in the bedding she kind made a bowl.
