I have found that females will take very small meals (fuzzies/hoppers for large females) if left in the cage overnight. I usually leave it right in the entrance to the lay box and most of them will eat up until a few days before laying. I fed a female tonight who is blue with her pre-lay shed.
Also... are you using any calcium supplements? If you are feeding only day old chicks I would be very concerned about your females getting enough calcium. I alternate feeding large mice and day old chicks.
