Unhappy Ex-Broody Hen

[KWestVA]

I think I finally broke my hen's broodiness an hour or two ago by transferring her to a new dog crate without the fake eggs she'd been nesting on. But now she's constantly growling and grumbling. Full disclosure: I am a huge softy who spoils all my animals terribly and gets stressed out if they're not stuffed with treats and perfectly content.

So, my serious question is if there is something else I need to provide her besides food and water and a comfy crate to ease her transition? Could she be egg-bound or have another health issue related to the broodiness?

(Note: it's unseasonably cold in my region, which is why I'm keeping Blondie inside in a crate.)

She's not broken of broodiness yet, that will take a few days. She's still an angry broody.
No bedding, just food and water.

LOL, "angry broody" is so apropos. The most stressful thing about this situation is that I can't trust my hormonal boys to do their protective job.without harassing her, and Broody Blondie has tried attacking my super-awesome dog a couple of times, and the hawks in my neighborhood don't seem to care that I am literally standing over Blondie during her outings.
