Cessation in laying

[Orpie]

i have 8 hens who've been laying like champs through massive storms, unstable tempatutes, and flood conditions. They all of a sudden just completely stopped 2 days ago. I mean not one egg. I believe they were without water for about a day. Would that cease laying? They aren't even "talking" like they usually do. I am completely dumbfounded. HELP!!!

Have they started molting?

Any predator events?
Do they free range?

They're eating super. They go through a 50lb bag in about 2 1/2 weeks.
As for age, 6 of the 8 are less than a year old. The other 2.. Maybe 2 1/2 yrs old.
In regards to molt, there is no feather loss in either the run or the coop. Secondly, even if it was a molt all 8 wouldn't cease laying at the same time.

PERPLEXED

No known predator events. I'm it's like Saturday they lay 6 eggs out of 8 of them and then nothing.
Free ranging.. Not so much. My Roo's are out and about and I don't want any fertilization.
