We have a 25ish week old Easter Egger who has been laying since about 19 weeks, she’s been laying beautiful blue eggs everyday or every other day with no problems! Suddenly this last week she has not laid a single egg?! Like 7 days no egg!
No signs of illness, she’s her normal sweet spunky self, she’s not molting or at least no signs, any thoughts ?!? We live in MI and it has been getting darker earlier and chillier at night but our other 3 hens are still laying as normal!?
 
It is normal for egg production to drop when the days get shorter.... but, sometimes they simply find another place to lay. Check around your run / yard. If there is a spot that you think a chicken could fit into, check there. You’d be surprised where a chicken will lay an egg.

What are your other 3 birds breeds?
Because they are mixes, EE can be great.... or not so great layers.

Do you free range?
