Does she stop laying while sitting?

The last hen we have would lay an egg a day. She has left the coop some time ago to hang out in the trees, or up above our dogs pen. She has laid over a dozen eggs in the corner and a few days ago, I go out and she is sitting on them. Shes a barred rock. My question is, do they stop laying eggs once they start sitting? I can't find any eggs anywhere.
 
Yes, a broody will lay until she's happy she has enough eggs to hatch and then she'll quit laying until several weeks after the chicks hatch.
