Hen Stopped Laying

[CajunPeeps]

My 9 month old orpington laid her first egg a month ago, laid second egg 2 days later and has not laid an egg since. What is going on? She looks perfectly healthy.

3 things that I can think of off the top of my head....

She has a secret nest somewhere with a stash in it.
She is stressed... night time predator/ being bullied by another hen/pestered by a cockerel/ new hens added to coop etc
She or another hen are eating her eggs

Good luck figuring it out.

Ok, so if a traumatized hen quits laying, will she ever start again? It's been a few months.

The days have gotten so short...give her until spring...

She could be sick,or even stressed.

Shes a starter.Hens have a egg cycle, they go threw it for so long.
Any other animals?
