Is my bantam cochin broody or sick? Please help!

when I just went to to lock them up for the night...all the bird were roosting except for her and her boyfriend (our silkie roo). She had however switched nest boxes. Maybe b/c I took her eggs. I didn't want to bother her so I am not sure if she is on an egg or not......thanks for the input. I will update tomorrow.

Sounds broody. They're a known breed for being broody... not massivly, but known.
But still, do keep a close eye on her.
Either way, it could be bad for her health, sometimes broodyt hens go overboard and accidently starve themselves to death..
Hope things are ok though
 
So I went to see her today, and she was in a totally different nest box.....on eggs, so I left them. The other box she had moved into yesterday didn't have eggs.
She was aggrevated with me when I went to check under her too.
I guess we just wait and see. She seems the same as yesterday, so I guess that's good.
Will keep you posted if anything seems to change.
