It appears the word, “broody” is commonplace in the British form of English (and evidently in biological studies of broodiness) but I don’t recall ever having heard it used in the US. [Shapiro, Susan J] I think it depends on if you have ever hung around people who raised chickens for eggs. A hen can get “broody” and start acting like she is incubating eggs. For a fun description you might enjoy http://hencam.com/faq/the-broody-hen/ It seems that “people “ can get into a similar mood. Suzi S.
