Chicken Throws Grass on Its Back

idk for me it justs means this is mine or sometimes broodies do this
 
I've caught several of my hens in the nest box tossing a piece of straw or shavings on their back. It's probably a similar reasoning on why they like to lay in the nest with the most eggs. Safety in numbers and "camouflage."

Edited to add: I have seen both broody and non-broody hens do this.
