First are you sure it isnt a roo? Sometimes polish can fool you that way.
Can she possibly have a hidde nest?
Do you have other white egg layers that she could be laying in their nest?
Is she molting?

do other roos try to mount and mate with other roos?
ive looked in and @ the surrounding properties and i only have two other hens that dont lay brown eggs. and one isnt laying yet.
molting? dont think so? she was hatched before easter last year....

Roos mounting roos-- occassionally, it is a dominancy thing. It doesnt happen to often so ruling it out is safe.
So she will be a year in or around march/april? Some are slow to lay.

and no crows either....

If you have seen actual mating and she is fully being mated then she has to have a nest somewhere. I have found nests hidden so well I have stepped on and smashed 20 + eggs at a time
