My hen Goldie hatched 01/25 went broody near July 4th and now gone broody again . She went immediately to broody jail and today I removed her so I could clean the jail and she became so mean to her 3 other flock mates . Two separate times she attacked my marans . It was so bad my husband stepped in before anyone got hurt but it was ugly . I just can’t believe she’s acting like this . These are my first chickens and honestly Goldie has been annoying me . Just venting , people can give any advice they would like . I’m new to all of this

Normal broody behavior. She really wants to have babies. If you can't let her hatch some eggs, I think it's best for her to find a new home where she's allowed to be a mama. I think it won't be hard to find someone who wants a free incubator.
Getting in and out of broody jail every couple of weeks is not a great life anyway.
