Is there anything I can do to prevent my hens from going broody besides collecting the eggs as soon as they lay them?
Unfortunately no. In many breeds the instinct to go broody has been bred out, but some still retain the instinct. I personally haven't had a gold laced, nor a silver laced go broody, but my blue laced routinely go broody. The breeders focus more on the coloring, so egg production isn't something that is selected for, nor do they try to breed the broody out. If egg production is important pick a different variety of Wyandotte. Blue laced are bums in that department.
Looks more like a blue. She's has a single comb?
She's not a blue laced, she's just a blue. Comb doesn't look quite like a rose comb, more like a single without points. Did you raise it as a chick? Where did you get her?
