My Australorp hen gets in the nesting box at around 11 and leaves at around 5-6! Why does she take so long to lay? Thanks

She's an old girl who has never gone broody before so I'm hoping she's broody now!
We dont exactly know how old but her feet look prehistoric. We have a nest attached to our house that some girls like to use, she hopped in their today at around 11 and she only just hopped out to go to the coop now (9 hours later) she laid in there but looks like she isn't broody, Her 7 hour nest box stays only started yesterday!How old is old? If she's an older bird laying may be more difficult for her, or she may be more inclined to lounging around (and nests are comfy).
How long as this 7 hr laying been going on? Any other signs of broodiness? Does she stay on nests overnight?
