All 6 of my hens stopped laying

[Chelsea1164]

all 6 of my hens stopped laying. they are all new layers and have been laying consistently for the passed couple months. i have had no eggs from any of my hens for about a week and a half. all of their food is the same and they appear to be healthy looking. so i’m curious to know why all of them have stopped laying. i would understand if one had stopped laying but all 6?! i’m slightly confused and concerned. any answers would be appreciated.
thank you!!

Are they molting and how cold is it where you are?

they aren’t molting and it’s in the mid 70s right now

a couple weeks ago it was in the 60s and now it is in the 70s, i wouldn’t consider that a major change though. I live in california and the weather is pretty consistent here for the most part.

Maybe they've decided to lay in a new hidden nest.

maybe but don’t they normally lay in dark covered places? the only places i have in my run like that are the igloo, the nesting box, and under the nesting box and i have checked all of those places. besides that i don’t have anymore covered spots.

Guessing they have found a new spot to lay.
Pics of your run?
They don't free range at all?

not unless i’m outside supervising, we have a bad predator problem. but i just got an egg today, but i’ve never seen a smaller egg in my life. i’m guessing i should maybe switch their food because i’m think their food doesn’t have enough nutrients?

If this started with all the birds all of a sudden, it seriously doubt it's their diet.
