yep... about the only thing you can do with that hen is put her in the stock pot. Once she starts, she won't stop and she will get the others started, too.

Chicken pot pie

And add more protein to all their feed to try to divert others from the same thing.

put golf balls in the nests, its worked for me . best way to prevent that is to gather eggs often, its a nasty habit and very hard to break sometimes, chickens love eggs.

I used to feed mine oyster shells ground.... came that way...

Chicken soup Its a habit that is very hard to correct if you have a small flock, you could isolate her and get the egg as soon as it laid if you are lucky.
