You found her hidey spot! What you can do to encourage her to lay in the nest box is to put some of the eggs (real or artificial) in the nest boxes.

I put grass clippings in my nest boxes and they lay just fine.They will quit laying if they are stressed ie, road construction, first snow, loud children when they're not used to them, anything new to them. They are creatures of habit. They also quit when they molt.
