Noisy hen negative reinforcement?

[Pine Shavings]

I live in a residential neighbourhood where some hens are allowed. I have a noisy girl that hasn't laid in a while (couple weeks) that just seems to be so loud all the time, whether I am there or not. All the other hens are noisier when I'm around and quiet when I am not (I can't hear them, when I'm on the other side of the fence). Has anyone tried putting a loud hen in chicken jail any time she gets noisy? So she realizes that I don't like that? She responds to positive reinforcements such as pecking on my window when she wants a treat already so it'd be the similar process. Just a thought don't want to piss off my neighbour's. She has access to lots of food and water and access to the entire yard. She is around 2.5 or 3 years old.

Probably wouldn't work.

So you've trained her(or she's trained you) to call you for treats,
that might be what all the noise is about.
