who wants to know?
how do i know if my hen is broody?
i have a Buff Orp hen that is just sitting in the nesting box with 3 eggs under her. she wont come out for anything, and she throws a HUGE hissy fit if any other chicken comes near her. she complained a little when i came near, but she let me check out the eggs
im so confused...never had a broody hen...lol

Is she there when it's dark?

If so, she's broody, get some fertile eggs and make it so the other hens won't try and knock her out of the box.
