Pullet suddenly not interested in food and water

So she passed that thin shelled egg overnight, has had some good healthy looking good sized poops but now she’s sitting in the nesting box … she sounds kind of agitated and gets fluffy when i look at her or disturb her. Is she being broody or is this more possible egg laying issues?

Take her out and she marched right back in

Did you give her the Extra Calcium yesterday and today? I'd give it for a full 7 days once daily.

She's still young and working on getting regulated. She's very likely working on another egg and needs the Calcium to help expel the egg and material.

Feed her a nutritionally balanced poultry feed that is at least 16% protein. (Layer Feed, Chick Starter, All Flock - any of these can be fed to hens). Provide oyster shell, Grit (crushed Granite), and the egg shells free choice, separate from feed.

Not likely she's broody, I'd be more inclined that she's needing to lay an egg.
