Hello there everyone. This is the first time I've actually had to ask for help on this website but I'm just so confused. We have a Buff Orphington (Buffy) who recently started to be aggressive to us. As in shrieking and puffing up her feathers and even pecking us sometimes. I looked into it and apparently this is broody behavior correct? But here's the thing, she doesn't stay in the nest box. She still stays out in the yard with the other birds and eats and scratches and acts completely normal aside from her aggressive behavior. So is she broody? Everything I've read on broody hens say that they stay in the nesting box or collect eggs to sit on and Buffy does not do this.

This is where I need your help. Is she broody or not? And if she is why isn't she staying in the nesting boxes? It's really confusing and we are first time chicken owners. Any help is greatly appreciated!
