Pullet not laying

If she is your "best" pullet, why not leave her where she is and bring the rooster to her a couple days a week?   I'm assuming you want to save her eggs for hatching, of course.    Sometimes when they are moved they stop laying for a time, especially if the other hens see her as an outsider and keep her on the roost or in hiding.

That's doubtful.  It would have to be so high to effect the hen that you would know it first.
