One of my Easter Eggers just started laying again and she seriously did not lay for at least a year, otherwise healthy though.

I don't know how old she or my other two hens are, they were rescues almost 3 years ago and laying then.

Why would she not lay for at least that long and then all of the sudden start laying with regularity?

 
Chickens are unpredictable. I had an EE start laying last year for a bit after quitting for 3 years. It is that time of year when hormones are surging so hens healthy enough will often start up. My guess is she will have a fairly short season before quitting again.
