8 month egg laying break?

She looks older than four months old in that picture to me.

Last February those were first two "pullets" ever. Now after having gone through hatches, pullets and roosters of all various breeds & sizes and knowing what I know now, having even a large orpington and many breeds that at 7-8 months of age weren't as large as she was then, it makes sense. I think perhaps the age factor as well as being a lousy layer could both play roles here.

Some birds are just lousy layers.
Either love her like a pet.... or send her to the soup pot.

Her rent is past due! LOL It has definitely crossed my mind a lot lately!

I'd give her a little time, winter slows laying down and if she was molting before that can explain it.

Definitely will be doing so. She was not a great layer the first go around however I was very new to this and quickly began adding and adding and adding lol. I will see what happens this spring, if nothing.. The pot it is!
