If she hasent finished laying her clutch of eggs yet then ya that's normal for her to leave she will only sit once she has finished her laying, but then again sometimes you just get the bad mother version in chickens were she can be broody but keeps getting off the eggs

The puffing up and screeching is definitely a broody hen if you want her to hatch eggs then just stop collecting them and she will most likely stay sitting once she has laid enough, if u don't want her to be broody place her in a wire cage with air circulating underneath her for a day or two
