My muscovy/crested duck won't stop going broody!

[Silkiesaz]

My little ducky named Nugget is normally a loving duck. She follows us around and preens my hair. She takes treats and hangs out with her other duck friend Darkwing. Whenever Darkwing lays an egg Nugget trys to brood it. She hisses and snaps and has left marks on me multiple times from her biting. Is this normal?

Yes, she is trying to protect what she thinks will be her babies, my silkie hen has gone broody multiple times and is always mean and angry she screams and pecks at me whenever I get close
