I have a 3 year old Barred Rock that a neighbor just gave me along with a 2 year old Cuckoo Maran. The Cuckoo Maran has been laying an egg a day, but the BR hasn't laid an egg in about a month (the neighbor said). She's healthy, not stressed and eats the same thing the CM eats. She's adorable, but home girl needs to earn her keep! Lol - just kidding. I love her anyway.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do or what may be causing the problem?

Thanks so much! I'm new to this and I LOVE BYC!!!
 
It's common for birds that have been rehomed to stop laying for a few weeks. This is also the time of year that molting begins. Molting can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Some will start to lay right after they molt, others won't resume laying until spring is on the way. As long as she seems healthy, just be patient.
 
Thank you junebuggena! I hope when she settles, she'll be happy enough to start laying again :)
