She may just be 'hiding' while molting to avoid the RoostTimeRumble.She’s actually out more throughout the day. It’s mostly at night that she likes to sit in the nest box. I am trying not to handle them much as she’s molting right now too. But to answer your question about hatching chicks, no... not interested at this time. Maybe in the future, when I have more property, etc.
Not a good habit tho. I'd make sure you had extra roosting space and block nests off before dusk.
