Are you giving her extra calcium during this time? Egg laying strips the hen of her calcium so she needs LOTS to replenish her body, otherwise they can get eggbound. Cuttlebone and/or mineral block is usually not enough calcium for hens to stay healthy. If she eats pellets, that'd be good because there is calcium and vitamind D in it and cooked eggs (with eggshell crushed) would also be great her for to eat.
P.S. We'd love to see pictures of the rest of your flock!!

She is not housed with the males. Thanks for the advice, we will get right on that. Thanks so much!
You want pics? We got pics!
Neo the GCC (I know I'm not supposed to have favorites, but I can't help it, he's our baby, our first bird, we got him at only a few months old). He says about 30 different words and phrases. Very smart and full of personality.
Popeye the Timneh. He's a character!
