For health reasons I think females should be monitored and bred if need be.

Unless you had someone who knew what they were doing to hand strip, I think I'd suggest allowing her to spawn naturally with a male.

you can loose females that are eggbound. I've always had my best luck at timing some 4 days before a full moon!

I think koi keepers have to be proactive with koi instead of hopeing the situation gets better. ( it usually doesn't) but like an Dr or person in charge of something's health you must first do no harm!
