What is my hen trying to tell me

Yep.

Running over to lie down exactly where you’re trying to work? Sounds to me like she’s trying to tell you that she identifies as a cat.

I also have a hen who throws straw over herself.

Is this hen usually friendly? Did you raise her from a chick?

You have to post it on YouTube them post a link. Try if you can, it would help!

Chickens will throw bedding on themselves as an attempt of camouflage. Nothing to worry about

After she weaned the chicks?
Sounds like a super serial broody.

She’s still caring for the chicks, in fact one of them makes an appearance in the video.

It almost looks as if she’s protecting her nest from you. That is the sound my girls make when I lift them off the nest, or when a broody is getting kicked out.

I think that is just a broody obsessive.
