Hi and welcome to BYC

. Is it possible that they are laying eggs in a spot where you cant find them? When you attempt to pet them do they squat? If they do that usually means that they are laying eggs.

Yes, if you free range your birds, chances are they are laying out in the fields somewhere. If you do free range, try keeping them in for one day and see if you get any eggs.

Health issues can cause them to stop laying, predators could be stealing the eggs or the hens themselves are eating them. Definitely follow the link that Sumi provided for more info.

Good luck and I hope you can figure this out soon!

X2 if they free range them may be hiding their eggs.

Sumi gave you a good link.

Make sure they have lots of calcium.
