Broodiness in fall?

Any way to actually make her set instead of having her just walk around fluffed up?

Not really, either she's serious or not, be patient.
You could put 4-5 fake eggs in a nest, that can trigger them...no guarantees tho.

Okay. I do have some golf balls there. She's a pullet so maybe not too experienced.

How old is she?

When U see a broody acting hen or pullet going about, there is usually a nest site selected already and she is out taking care of business (eating, drinking leaving a crap) when is is off the nest. My hens usually retreat to that chosen nest site once business obligations met.

Around 28 weeks. She was on the nest all night yesterday and was there this morning so I think she has finally decided to sit.
