chicken stopped laying - anything I can do?

Try adding a little scratch in their grit mixture. They may dump it out, but they will eat it off the ground. This will make them eat the mixture.

UPDATE:

Over the past month and half I've fed the chickens 3 lbs of cat food in addition to their regular feed. They love it. The hen that was molting perked up noticeably within a few days of starting on the cat food. within a couple weeks she had new feathers starting. At this point I believe she is pretty much through with her molt. The new feathers look beautiful, she is back with her spunky inquisitive attitude, and I do believe she is laying again.

Thanks for helping me out folks. i've since googled pictures and stories of chickens molting and it looks like a lot of inexperienced people (like me) get a little freaked out the first time our chickens go through a molt. What if we were to go into a 3 month long funk that involved losing large swaths of our hair, and during that time we also stopped working?

I went into a lifetime funk after losing my hair at 23.

Glad that all is back to normal in your "flock."
