Technically, it is the term used to refer to hens who are ready to hatch eggs. A hen will lay eggs every day for a long time without any intent to sit on the nest to start to hatch the eggs. Then a part of her anatomy starts to heat up. It is called the brood spot. When it gets uncomfortably warm for her, she begins to sit on a clutch of eggs. She turns them continually to keep the cool side against the brood spot. This keeps the eggs turned so they will hatch. And keeps her comfortable.
That is what "broody" is. But it can be pulled over to refer to higher animals, although not technically correct.

Pirate.
That's my MO. I kill threads like Charles Bronson slays bad guys. I thought the Adrien Bro[o]dy thing was kinda clever and pretty random. I know how you appreciate randomness. ;)
:) that's funny.
Just punched myself on the face...
