broody hen
A broody hen is a female chicken that has the natural instinct to sit on and hatch her eggs. This state is characterized by certain behaviors such as refusing to leave the nest, plucking out their own chest feathers to expose skin for heat, and acting aggressively towards anyone who attempts to disturb them. Their bodies also undergo physical changes such as a rise in temperature and a decrease in appetite and egg-laying.
