Is it normal???

Being a single bird, living in a human house, could be negatives.

Thank you so much,you are a great help for us.
Do i need to expect any behavioral changes after i would remove the eggs and nest?
Does it have a negative influence on her?

She'll snap out of it soon enough.
Can I ask why she isn't being kept outside, on the grass, in the sun where she can sun bathe and dust bathe and be with flock mates? Chickens are MUCH happier living that way.

She is outside most of the day,and have access in and out of the house all day long .
It is her choice where to be .
We took her in after finding her abandoned in the rain .
She grew up indoors and got used to it and us .
So no worries, she's got plenty of grass, sun,dust and whatever she needs .
She is choosing where to be and when .
She is an in and out chicken.

I wasn't judging, just making an observation....and a joke.

She'll be cranky. It's a hormonal thing. Once she's broken of her broodiness her hormones will return to normal as will her behavior.

Thanks everyone for your help .
So we took her egg,and nest,and she is starting to come back to her self .
But now we have a new problem, she's limping on her right leg .
And cant really walk .
I imagine its from sitting for so long,we have a vet appointment tommorow,but any help for now ?

I personally don't think that would be from sitting. I mean, none of mine have ever had that problem after being broody.
It's good you can take her to a vet. None near us will deal with chickens.

I know what you mean .
But she literally hasn't moved in four days .
We're massaging her legs,and nothing feels out of place,broken,or even that soar .
Only when shes standing/walking you can see ot bothers her .
I thought maybe its a muscle cramp.
Or just abit of numbness in her leg ..

Check the bottoms of her feet.
When you say she can't really walk... To what extent? Like, is she able to get herself to food and water, is she just limping a bit, or has she lost balance...?
