Odd noise from 4yr old hen

[KelownaChickenFan]

Hi! I am trying to identify a weird noise my hen is making. She is a 4yr old Black Star, still laying fairly well, very happy and healthy! I don't think she is broody as she leaves the box, but not quite as often as the others. She does not make the angry broody sound if I touch her, and will let me take the eggs. She does pull any egg I place in the corner underneath her though.... I am going to try to find out how to link a video here now, wish me luck...lol!

The easiest way to post videos is to upload them to YouTube, then post the link here.

Sorry its so long, I am new at editing video, etc... I just got an sd card for my phone and am just learning all that as well!

Omg, I don't know where it went!! I put it on youtube but don't know how to post a link, help?

There's some videos on this page with broody sounds.

I looked at all the videos and there was nothing like what mine is doing....mine sounds like more of a comforting sound....

The more I learn the more I am convinced she is not broody, its something else. She is displaying all the "just about to lay an egg" behaviour in this video, and she does leave, just not quite as often as the others. Her feathers are not puffed, she does not care if I take the eggs or touch her, and she will make this noise when she is out and about in the yard also. If anyone knows what it means, I would love to hear your opinion
