Stop mixing in the scratch, it's not good for them so it should be less than 10% their diet.feed them Organic Dumar Products (high protein) mixed with 5 grain scratch, diatomaceous earth, mealy worms, kale and greens every other day and veggies(no spinach)
We’re having the same situation with our girls. Introduced two new girls to the existing flock two weeks ago, then one of our Brahmas was taken by a predator the next week. The older girls haven’t laid since then. We hear them singing their egg song, go into the nesting boxes, but don’t produce.Chickens are very sensitive to change and any minor stressors can put a halt on laying. What has the weather been like in your area? Many chickens stop laying when it gets to be severely hot or cold. Anything that could have stressed them out recently such as illness/treatment, predator attack, new additions to the flock, new coop, commotion around your property, etc.? How many hens do you have? What are there breeds and ages? What is their diet? How long have they not been laying?
Sounds like stress and even grief indeed. Don’t worry too much. They probably lay again within a few weeks if you live on the northern hemisphere and there is no red mite infestation or some other problem that occurred at the same time.We’re having the same situation with our girls.

I did find two soft eggs on the poop board last week, chalked that up to their being stressed. We’re worried they may not lay any eggs anymore. Thoughts? And help would be appreciated
