One of my chickens (Buff Orpington) has been broody for almost three weeks. Today, she was ...acting strange. I examined her closer, and found she was trying to poo. A clear liquid slowly dripped out, but no poo came out...

No egg in her vent. Just now she dumped a huge poo in the sink....

Remember that a broody hen, especially one that has been broody for only 3 weeks does not lay or produce eggs, but they also poop infrequently.

You do your hens no favors by allowing them to just set and set because they are broody, or maybe you want to give them a break from laying. In my estimation letting a hen brood for months to no effect is like a human being pregnant for years on end. If you don't intend to set her, break her from sitting. Egg laying is nothing but hen chicken ovulation and hens are never healthier, nor happier than when they are laying. Watch your hens closely and see if you don't agree.
