Get a Bantam to lay ONE More Egg- Please Help

[Pat Mcaffee]

My partridge wyandotte hen who is roughly two and a half years old has not been laying for roughly a year. I am breeding her with my rooster and have gotten only one egg out of her which failed during the incubation process. She is on regular layer food with meal worms and oyster shells mixed in. She lives in a rabbit cage with the rooster, however I out straw underneath them. There are two fake eggs in the cage. When she laid the one egg, she was with the rooster. She goes outside at 7:000 a.m. and I take her cage back in around 9:00 p.m. Does anyone have any tips that work really well for getting a hen to lay an egg just for breeding purposes?

Is there any way that you can provide a larger pen where she can get more exercise?
