Is she still laying eggs?? If so, she's not completely broody. She's still in the process of preparing to be broody so to speak. She looks like an Australorpe to me but I could be wrong. I have one that's trying to go broody too. It seems the warmer temps. have triggered her hormones to hatch some eggs!
