My ayam cemani hen has been sitting on the eggs in the nesting box all day! She doesn’t growl or peck when I touch her she just sits on the eggs! Is she broody or has she been trying to lay an egg ALL day!
 
See what she does at night. If she doesn't leave the nest at night and doesn't seem ill you probably have a broody. I would wait to see if she is still setting a second night before giving her hatching eggs.

If she was trying to lay an egg all day she probably would be egg bound.
If she was egg bound she would be lethargic and in a penguin type stance.
She's probably broody.
