Thank you!!! I’m glad to be here. And learning a lot just reading through the other forums. I really appreciate everyone’s advice.Where are my manners!!! I didn't notice. Welcome to the forum from Louisiana, glad you joined.
You don't need to do that kind of stuff. I can read what you write to Aart.
To me that explains why she is not laying. Before a hen starts laying she stores up some excess fat. That fat is what she mostly lives off of while broody so she can take care of her eggs instead of having to be out looking for food and water. When she rebuilds that fat reserve she will start laying again.
I keep a fake egg (golf ball) in the nests all the time. You don't get guarantees but it can help show them where to lay. So it might help and should not hinder.
