Usually, when a hen goes broody she only comes out to eat and drink every now and then, then straight back to the nest. so if she's out in the day all day she's likely not broody. though if you want her to go broody I've read that putting things like lavender and other herbs in the nest will encourage them, as well as a dark safe spot to lay. Additionally, if you get too close while they are actually broody they will fluff up and get defensive, so then you would know that they are broody if they did that.

They do leave the nest to poop, eat and drink every couple of days and they will puff up and growl if you approach them...Does she do this?
