Was sure the fake egg trick was nonsense, now my girl is finally laying in the box

I read about putting a golf ball in the nesting box and thought it was silly old timer stuff, but after 3 weeks of eggs on the coop floor I tried it with a $2 ball from the hardware store. She's laid in the box 6 days straight now, idk if it's the ball or just timing but I'll take it. Has this worked for anyone else or did I just get lucky?
