What are the symptoms of a broody chicken?

In: Chickens and Roosters, Symptoms [Edit categories]

Answer:

A broody chicken is when a hen decides to sit on her eggs... even if there is no rooster around, and even if the eggs belong to a bunch of random chickens on the flock... they will just sit on the eggs hoping to hatch them out, i guess.
