Hi Sue,
I just recently got my point back up and running (yet again) and saw a number 
of messages reffering to this.  I can't remember anymore where I saw this but 
I do recall reading somewhere that one possible work around to a hen that 
keeps laying and laying unfertilized eggs is "not" to pull them as she lays 
them, but to allow her to sit on the clutch until she tires of it and 
abandons them.  Then, maybe she'll quit for a while.
Peace 
 Joe
