she will come out then wanders off and just sits there like she is goig to sleep she seems to fluff up and tucks her head down

When mine are broody they fluff their feathers up but sit quite proudly and purr at you when you go near them (think it means go away or something like that). If you put a fist under them they will cuddle it in.  Is she doing this?
