Here is the culprit:

She is incubating LB and LB cross eggs. When I saw what she was doing I had hubby finally put in the dividers that we had been procrastinating about. The big girls like to all lay in one corner of the nest area - now with the dividers in they are laying in all of them - not just the one "prefered" by everyone that my broody girl is in. I was worried that all the construction noise of putting the dividers in would mess her up, but it did not. She did bwak and cuss us, but stayed put through the whole process of installation. She is adamant and has no plans to vacate her nest, lol. Looks like I will have some babies in a few weeks if all goes well.

I had a broody a month ago so for the heck of it I stuck 6 eggs under her and this is what happened 3 weeks later:

Can't wait to see pictures. Be aware, though, that the chicks hatched 1-2 days earlier than I was expecting. It seems it doesn't take as long when the hen is doing the work.
