I have the same issue with two chickens. A Wyandotte and a cream legbar. They were born in august 2020 and laid eggs all 2021 until end of the year molt. Our dogs chased them and they got scared but not hurt in Dec. 2021 (while molting). In 2022 I got 3 eggs from the cream legbar and I think 2 from the Wyandotte right around March when all started laying but then never again. They both have their combs red all the time the other ones are laying (flock of 10). They both behave happy and healthy. Wyandotte never got pretty feather again. Over the last year and a half I’ve found a few shell less eggs in the coop, which seem to be from one of them from the place they were and given some days all the other ones laid their respective eggs…
What could be wrong?
They live in a 10x20 run with some roosting spots and grazing area. Sleep in a safe coop. Have 4 nests in the run… I give organic layer feed, a little scratch every day after they run around the yard for 30m-1h, oyster shells, gave lots of dried warms during their molt…
