OP - in the interest of your apparent outlook on life, perhaps you would be better suited to take on an older hen who has stopped laying and is likely to find her way into the stew pot now that she is no longer contributing - you can provide a happy home in which she can live out her years and you won't have to worry about the pesky egg-laying issue. You could re-home your productive hen(s) to someone else, perhaps even trading for the past-her-prime hen(s)
