Silky acting odd

[Deannalombardi]

My 1 year old silky has been sleeping during the day, stopped laying eggs and is staying in the coop (usually in the nesting boxes) Even though she’s sitting in the nesting box, she is not sitting on any eggs. We did just get 8 new 6-7 day old hens and 1 rooster about 3 months ago. The roaster seems to bully her a little bit so we quarantined the rooster for a day to see if that would help, but she is still not coming out. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Merecks?

Sounds broody. Some silkies are pretty quiet about it. I would try breaking her by putting her in a wire bottom crate for 3-7 days. Provide a roost, and food and water.
