California Gray has not laid since last November

[HenHouse Henry]

I have a California Gray, she was an egg machine in her first year, laid through the first winter, and last November she stopped for a molt and has not started again. She acts healthy and hangs out in an empty nest box for a while like she is going to lay then I see her running around so I go out and check, no egg? I have never had a broody hen, Is that what's happening? Just Curious.

Maybe it's her feed? I've heard of feed that had caused malfunctioning chickens before.

She's probably close to resuming again, if she's playing around in nests. Some birds resume laying sooner, some later.
