It could. No promises. You could try adding wild bird seed or some sort of greens if they don't have easy access. Feeding boiled mashed eggs might help too.

When did chickens start laying eggs?
Female chickens (hens) generally start laying eggs at around 20-24 weeks of age. Some breeds take longer. They don't need a rooster to lay eggs and if you are lucky they will lay an egg per day. Again this depends on the breed, with some chickens laying an egg every few days. They lay less over winter, when they are moulting or when they are stressed.

My chickens quit laying eggs several weeks ago what do you do to make them lay again?
Hens often times quit laying eggs if they are in molt, It is to cold, or they are old. If it is cold where you live try giving them a heat lamp in the coop. If they are in molt you will have to wait until they are done. When hens get old they quit laying and are just cute pets! There are lots of good chicken sites on-line. Just goggle "raising chickens" and you should get tons of info.

Is it possible to hatch the eggs in your refrigerator?
Chickens are one of the few animals that will lay infertile eggs. The eggs in your refrigerator would never hatch. That would be true even if they had never been in your refrigerator but had been in a nest. (A few chickens are put in pens with roosters. They lay fertile eggs. The eggs hatch and produce little chicks. Some of those will again grow up to be put in pens with roosters. Others will take the jobs of laying eggs. Others will become food.)
Why do hens stop laying eggs in the winter and what makes them begin to lay eggs again beginning in the spring?
In the wild chickens would normally only lay eggs in the wild when they were ready to have young (which would of naturally been from Spring - Autumn). Chickens grew up with the instincts to know that food sources are low in Winter time and there fore that they would not be able to feed their young - so they didn't lay eggs. Also they had to keep their nutrients levels high which was hard to accomplish when lacking food and laying eggs at the same time. So really it all comes down the the temperature, weather and what happened in the past when the wild Red Junglefowl (original chicken breed) roamed the parts of South-East Asia (He still does now). Some modern chicken breeds will lay through out the Winter but many still continue to stop laying Through out Winter.
When do hens start laying after the winter?
Most chickens (i.e. Barred Rock, Rhode Island Reds, Leghorns) are between 5-6 months old before they start laying eggs. A mature/bright comb and waddle indicate a chicken is ready to start laying eggs. If you can fit 3 fingers between the pelvic bones, that also means they are ready to start laying eggs.
