everyone lays their eggs, and she collects them all up in a nestbox, then sets them...usually for about half an hour and then gets bored..once she went for a good 4 or 5 hours. Spent whole darn day in there! She's an Rir X, and i'm sure they're not known to be broody. i have to take a garden spade for her to peck while i collect the eggs from under her. She took a chunk out of my arm one day LOL...

after i get the eggs, she gets up, squawks for the rest of the day, and does the same thing the next day.
 
Thats so funny! I have a black sex-link thats doing that same thing. These types of birds I thought weren't likely to go broody? As I write this to you, she is back in the nest box, what's with her? I hope we get some kind of answer, this has been going on now for about 4 days.

hahaha we call her our nasty hen...

the mean hen

if you even walk by her or touch her nest she's sitting on, she'll squawk and raise her feathers at you
