Ok so I closed off the nesting site for a couple days when she would run out in the mornings now she stays out all day like before and just sleeps in the nest she's not laying eggs now either is she broke or should I remove her completely? She's a little skittish right now compared to normal and won't squat for me like she always has just run to me and squat lol ??

Don't let her sleep in the nests....was she doing that before she went broody?

Like a day or two before. I thought she was just getting comfy instead of perching

Bird should not roost(sleep) in the nests, makes the nests dirty.
Roosts are best being about a foot higher than the nests to deter that habit.

Sounds like you kind of 'broke' her broodiness by blocking off the nests.
If she's not spending the day on the nest, and she not puffing up and screeching at you, she's probably broody anymore.
But she still may not lay for awhile.
