Do all hens go broody?

I know i missed a day of collecting eggs and i had 3 hens in the nest box after dark....Im thinking of going into the chick bussiness LOL. but not now. two of them were squaling, the other was biting and twisting my skin!!,

This has happend several times..
all i do is take em off the nest and put em on the roost and take their eggs. and it fix them.
 
There are varying degrees of broodyness, as well. Some stay broody for weeks and weeks, only getting off the nest for food and bathroom breaks once a day. Others like my australorp don't sit very "tight"....getting up a lot, abandoning the nest.
