I fed them a grub I found which they ate. Still no brood.

Not sure why but the picture is really really tiny. It's as if someone has massively zoomed out of it. :/
Could you try again?
Also it may take some time for the queen to produce more eggs. Unless she is a fire-ant which can spawn hundreds and thousands of eggs per day it may take a few days for that to happen.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

Currently not keeping any ants anymore.

I would say they are carpenter ants, maybe camponotus pennsylvanicus.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]
