1 yr old Ameraucana's (all 5) stopped laying green eggs a week ago. ?

HI I have three EE's. The oldest (Easter) is about a year and a half old--the other two are about 8 months or so. The oldest has not laid any eggs since early summer. One of the two new girls (Azure) lays about 3-5 a week. The other new girl (Aqua) has not laid any eggs at all. I always have a timed light which is on for at least 13 hours. My three leghorns Winter (older), Snowy and Frosty ( two younger) are all going great guns with almost one a day each. I also have a Wyandotte (Winnie), a RIR (Ruby) two Barred Rocks (Bea and Beulah) two Buff Orpingtons (Honey and Taffy) and one Comet (Tessie). They seem to be doing 2-3 weekly although it's hard to tell who lays which. I am very disappointed in the two EE's as I enjoy seing those blue eggs. I am hoping they get back on track!!
 
I'm going with what Woodmort said. I have two EE's and three Ameraucanas. One Ameraucana is only about 6 months old, and she's still laying. And one of my EE's is still laying. But the other three between both breeds have stopped. However, they are also looking HORRIBLE right now because of molting. As a matter of fact, my oldest Ameraucana hen has only a single long tail feather left sticking out amongst a bunch of broken feathers right now. She looks like someone tossed her into a feather plucker!

And because of that, she's not laying any eggs at all right now. I haven't seen an egg from her in at least three weeks! Meanwhile, the hatch-mates of my young Ameraucana - two leghorns, one EE, a plymouth rock, and a polish - are laying just fine. But they also aren't showing any signs of molt at all - they're too young.
 
My two easter eggers are pretty regular layers, at least 1 a day or 1 every other day from the two hens. Neither have laid for the last week; we have had super windy weather and cold nights, but they laid all winter. Only change was it has been nonstop windy for a week now.
