Is my parakeet pregnant?

My female keeps flying in the tissue box nesting box i made for her and chews it up and throws the leftovers inside the box…Then she goes in for a few minutes…The male comes by and feeds her and this has been going on for about 3 days…I am not sure what is happening…Sometimes the male goes in the nesting box too…I dont know what that means either…When my bird comes out of the nesting box her vent has a small bump beneath it…Does that mean shes about to lay…Can someone please help me with all of these questions! Your help will be appreciated =)

Why doen’t my hen lay eggs?

I have 11 hen and 3 roosters. They sleep in two different hen-houses but during daytime they’re free to walk around. I feed them leftovers complimentary to corn, but you’ll find them eating all kinds of things from under the trees.
Last year I had to kill all my chicken due to the bird-flu arriving in Greece, but in january I bought 16 chicks to raise a new flock (yep two didn’t make due to the presence of wild weasels here).
They’re seven montsh old now, which should be old enough to start laying, but they don’t???
Is there anybody that has a suggestion of what I can do to stimulate them laying eggs? In the previous years I never had a problem with this.
