Your Hen usually stays in her nest, not greeting you as normal.
If you look in on her you may notice she will 'fluff' up her feathers & 'cluck' constantly, keeping her breast down and her tail up. She will only come out if encouraged to do so, for food & water. She will soon run at top speed back to her nest after a few minutes.
This will last 18-21 days, (the incubation period of an egg to hatch out.)

How do you know if a hen is clucking?
A broody hen is easy to spot. The hen will remain on the nest when the other hens are going about their daily routine. The hen will often be aggressive when you reach in to remove her eggs. If you remove the hen from her clutch of eggs she will often run right back to the nest, protesting loudly. The broody hen will not roost with the other birds but remain on the nest over night.

A chicken will not know it's egg from any other. After the eggs hatch, the hen and the chicks get to know the sounds that they each make. If a chick gets separated from the hen, it will cheep, and the hen clucks to it, and the chick will come running.
