Will a senior hen who's not laying anymore still go in to the nesting box every day or two and act as if they think they're going to lay an egg?

She might very well have.Did my nine year old hen just drop an egg?
Has anyone else have a senior hen just lay an egg, out of the blue?
Thank you. She is my first senior hen and this has me flabberghasted.
My lawn mower fixer man had a single white sussex hen who was quite aged - he said she was the last of the original flock he raised and had to have been over 15yrs-old when she died. She was still laying every so often as i was there one day when he found a egg and was all excited about it. I had no idea chickens could live that long.I realize this is an old post but I’ve just found it and I am going through something similar.
I have a nine year old hen who loves to sit on the eggs.
She can be quite broody and last week I found an egg in the box that I didn’t recognize.
It was a very light cream egg and my Barnevelders and Copper Blue Maran lay brown to chocolate eggs.
