All hens completely stopped laying for months now

[Hei 20]

We have 4 hens 3 Are just a year old and one is 5/6 years old. The oldest hen had stopped laying due to her old age and is enjoying rest of her free-range life. However the young ones were laying just fine. Until the last few months. We have mited and wormed them but nothing has improved. They look just fine and behave normally. They had molted and have ready regained their feathers a while ago. They have enough sunlight and various foods. No stress that we know of, but none of them lay any eggs at all. We're really running out of ideas as to what is going on with them, I hope someone is able to help us out. Thanks.

Hopefully this info helps a little. Maybe there is some type of stress going on that you don't see, such as a predator at night.

That does sound like it could be that. We will try out that and give them some more time. Thank you very much for the help.

Sounds like they went on strike. LOL

We have an omlet eglu coop for them which should safe and there have been no distress noises from them. But we'll keep an eye out for that. Other than that there should be no reasons for strikes haha. Thank you!

Is there a handsome rooster in their cook? Maybe they want to be entertained. Someone that can wear the pants in their coop.

Do you give them free feed of grit and oyster shells? I’ve heard that a lack of calcium intake can cause hens to all of a sudden stop laying. Try giving them a free choice amount of grit and oyster shells and see if that works. I hope your hens start laying soon!

I meant COOP.

Unfortunately we have looked absolutely everywhere and have found nothing at all. We did leave them in their run for a while to see if they were laying somewhere else too but no eggs were found. We also checked for predators and tried to make sure that they aren't eating their own eggs. And there's just no eggs to begin with.

We are in the UK but they haven't been laying throughout the summer either when the sun was there for the longest.

Do you free range your birds?
What all and how exactly are you feeding?
They may be molting now.....
butt...
When eggs are not happening....an exam is in order.

Then.
Free range birds sometimes need to be 'trained'(or re-trained) to lay in the coop nests, especially new layers. Leaving them locked in the coop/run for a week or so can help 'home' them to lay in the coop nests. Fake eggs/golf balls in the nests can help 'show' them were to lay. They can be confined to coop and maybe run 24/7 for a few days to a week, provided you have adequate space and ventilation, or confine them at least until mid to late afternoon. You help them create a new habit and they will usually stick with it. ..at least for a good while, then repeat as necessary.
