She has been trying to lay eggs in spots they can't stay and I don't know what to do about it

Just put them on the cage floor and try to stop your bird from accessing hiding places like under your bed, behind the door etc- allowing access to these hiding spots can be increasing her desire to lay which you really want to settle down as tiels are known to be chronic egg layers and egg laying should not be encouraged as it is hard on your birds system.

Ok and I'm always blocking her from the spots but she still somehow gets back there

Just wanted to say that your girl is gorgeous and looks so happy in your avatar pic! What a beautiful crest.

Also dealing with a broody cockatiel and my GCC’s usual hormonal BS. As soon as those days start getting longer…
