Going broody? Or just protective of egg?

I put 5 eggs under her again and this time she looks even more committed. I think she will stay this time.

Well hopefully she'll stay in this next.

She is sleeping on the nest! A step in the right direction! She has plucked more feathers from her chest and stomach and she is acting more protective as well. I think this answers the initial question! She is broody!
