Brooding hen does it cause other not to lay

[Hennypeg]

Brooding hen cause others to not lay? She is controlling the the coop and I put out other boxes yet no eggs from other chicks

Not normally. How many nest boxes do you have? How many hens? Are they molting? This will cause then to stop laying.

No it doesn't, look for eggs some where unless she was the only one laying. The other possibility is hens laying out, breaking the eggs and eating them.
You have to separate her any way

Welcome to BYC. No it does not.

It's more likely that your broody hen is moody and scaring the other hens out of the coop. Do you allow them to free-range? They may be hiding eggs elsewhere.

The broody probably has the eggs.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Your other chickens may have found somewhere else to lay if the broody is keeping them away from the nest.
