2 chicks not laying

[moremargothanbarbara]

I have six hens all around the same age (maybe 6-7 months)
Two of them seem to have stopped laying and I know which two as one lays a pure white egg and the other a blue egg.
I think these two are the youngest but maybe about a month or so. The white one (white leghorn) has a laid only a few since I've had her and recently stopped. The blue egg layer started laying just a few weeks ago and has also stopped.
The other four are laying as normal, they all eat the same food etc etc.
Any ideas? I can't find any help on the interweb

Thanks, I've read all these and I don't think they apply. My confusion is that the other four are all laying as normal so I wondered why two might not.

@ 6-7 months old, they are young, I find they will start and stop for any number of reasons. They are youngsters, let them grow up they will do better at 1YO.

Thank you I wondered if it might be an age thing and their bodies still adjusting

Did you get all the birds at the same time from the same source?
Am assuming you didn't get them as day old chicks, so don't know their exact ages?

Knowing more about ...
your coop(size in feet by feet with pics),
if you free range or not,
and what all and how exactly you are feeding,
might offer clues to if there is a solvable problem.

Oh, and also...
Where in this world are you located?
Climate is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, then it's always there!

FYI.....semantics, maybe, but can be important communication terms when discussing chicken behavior.
Female chickens are called pullets until one year of age, then they are called hens.
Male chickens are called cockerels until one year of age, then they are called cocks(or cockbirds or roosters).
Age in weeks or months is always a good thing to note.
