Chicken sitting in nesting box but not brooding at night

[SilverBirds]

Yes, she is. Does that mean she’s broody?

Yes, it does. I'd put her in chicken jail for a few days.

Do you want her to be broody and hatch chicks? If not you'll need to break her. Put her in a dog kennel or separate pen with only food, water, and a perch. Leave her there for 48-72 hours. This is one of the most surefire ways to break a broody.

Thank you I did put her in a separate pen outside pen attached to my run and it seemed to help today so I’ll will repeat tomorrow.
