Ok so a little back story here. When Blanche (my easter egger chick) was maybe 4 months old she was attacked by something. Not any big gashes. She somehow ended up in the front yard over a 7 foot fence and had 2 small puncture marks on her neck. She was also in shock, so for a month I had to for feed her, exercise her, and keep her inside with me. Anyway she finally got better but she is different now then how she was before the attack. Like she walks a little funny and her tail is always to to side. She dosnt jump on me or my kids anymore, and she seems to have to work a little harder to do her chicken thing. ANYWAY, back to the at hand matter. In December my other 2 girl (Rose and Dorathy) started laying eggs and Blanche started in January,(one egg each about 6times a week)but for some reason Blanche hasn't layed any eggs for about 3 weeks now. She is not sick, has plenty of safe places to lay, eats healthy layer pellets, veggies and any bugs or lizards she can get beak on, is only 1 year old and I'm pretty sure she isn't molting. I have no idea why she hasn't layed an egg is so long. Could it have been because of the attack when she was younger and maybe messed something up inside her? Could it be because I took her eggs while she was broody? I just don't know what to do to get her to lay eggs again. I have been giving then more protein and they have enough calcium from there feed. Anyone have an idea as to what might be wrong with her egg production? Should I get a rooster to maybe stimulate her eggs again?
