There is nothing wrong with her.

Some hens/breeds are just very broody types.
There are people who would Love to have very broody hen so if you don't want her you could probably sell her on here or on Craigslist.

LOL! I'm in the same boat as you. I had a broody Buff Orp this spring. She raised a brood of feed store chicks and has is now currently in broody mode for the 3rd time. I just keep taking her out of the nest box. She ranged with the other girls today, but went straight back to the box this evening. Good Luck!!
