You might not have done it there might be a bugaboo around scarring them, they will lay whenever they make the eggs-
I always get the next days egg and then they take a break if something gets my hen's feathers in a bunch.
Remember they are animals any stresses can cause them to stop laying.
They ran low on food and water, then- they then got locked up.
Is there light where they are locked up?
Also egg eating leaves little/no evidence
