I thought red sexlinks don’t go broody??

Hi, my 26 weeks old RSL is, I THINK, broody. Typically she wakes up, eats and goes into yard. Comes back into coop lays and goes back outside. But this morning I went to collect the eggs, and she was still on the nest. When I went near her, she puffed up and growled, almost sounded like a raccoon. Usually she’s super friendly, she’s never acted this way. I looked under her and there’s 3 eggs, I’m pretty sure 2 are her sisters. I took the eggs and put her outside, but she keeps going back to the nest. I’ve read everywhere that red sexlinks don’t go broody. So..what’s the happening??

RSL don't "usually" go broody, but any hen from and breed can become broody. It's all hormones. A few years ago, I had an 8-year-old RSL that went broody and decided to let her sit. She was a great mother to her one chick she hatched. If you aren't interested in letting her hatch any eggs you can put her in broody jail.

I don’t mind her hatching her eggs, as long as it’s not too late in the year? Or does that matter? It’s interesting, the active rooster I have is a bantam. I watched them mate, it’s an interesting technique he uses but it looks like the happening definitely happens..
