My first broody hen

Tallulah, puffed up and looking like a turkey.
Here's the story; one of our hens was not laying and someone suggest I play rooster crowing noises for her to "get her going". So Friday a.m. I found some great roosters on u-tube and played it for her. She seemed to look interested for a min or two then went about her business. That night, Tallulauh, one of my best layers went broody. Coincidence, or do you think the rooster triggered her to want to hatch some eggs? She s been broadly now for a few days and I take the eggs away from her in a timely manner in hopes she will snap out of it soon.
