Chicken stopped laying

[Jessloren]

My best layer suddenly stopped laying about a week ago. I’ve been keeping a close eye on her and she seems healthy. Haven’t noticed any molting or even mites. I did switch up their snacks a few days before this and once I noticed she stopped laying I switched right back. It’s been 4 days back on the regular treats with some extra protein to encourage egg laying and nothing. I’ve been checking to see if she’s eating it and she’s not and she’s not laying elsewhere?

How old is she? Sometimes chickens stop laying due to old age. In other cases, she might have stopped for the winter pause?

-How old?
-What feed is she on and what treats/extras is she being fed?
-Is it winter or cold where you are at?

Yes it’s cold but it’s been very cold since November with no issues until now. She is on a layer feed from tractor supply. Haven’t switched that at all. She was getting work treats and switched it up to a scratch that had worms in it when the stopped producing. Switched back to the worms and nothing. I’ve even added some tuna in water here and there cuz it’s her favorite and nothing. I’m stumped.

She’s not even a year old yet. We’ve had very cold temps here in utah and she’s laid perfectly through it all. We did have a colder spell (like we’ve had before) and that’s about when she stopped. It’s warmed up since but still no eggs from her.

I have a question - one of my pullets, a cuckoo Marans, laid about 3 eggs a week from November until last week but nothing in a week. Do pullets just sometimes randomly stop for a week or so? she seems normal otherwise

(before anyone says wacky things, I am not in the USA and nothing has changed food wise )

Here's how to add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

Yes.

Thank you! I figured they might be random but she's been consistent for a while.
