Our best layer, a 9 month old Golden Comet went from laying an egg neary every day, to not laying a single egg in over a month!
We can't figure out what is going on. She's too young to be molting i believe, and she's not being picked on ( in fact she's the only one that can fly over the fence and access even more grass/ greenery). Our other chickens (2 barred rock, a ery giant and a buff orpington), are all the same age and have continued to lay ... maybe a little slower than a few months ago, but still laying. Everyone is acting normal, so we are at a loss.
At first we thought she found a secret spot to lay, but have searched high and low and have not found anything - she always let out the loudest call too, and have not heard her call , so i really don't think she is laying.
Should we be concerned??
