So I am hoping for now she is back to her old sefl.

I hope you do not think there is little chance of another egg not coming?
I recommend letting her flights grow out (if she is currently clipped) and allow her to then use them to get plenty of exercise (take those safety precautions though to prevent escape or gaining enough speed to hurt herself by flying into something). They say some of the same muscles etc. that are used in pushing an egg along the tract are the ones developed in upward diagonal flight etc..... Of course a proper diet and adequate outdoor daily sunshine is important also but if for some reason that is not possible, proper F.S. Lighting is said to suffice. Good luck in the future.
