Chickens totally stopped laying eggs

[nbdk]

Hello, I have about 30 rhode island reds and buff orpington. They were all doing really well, laying around a dozen or so eggs a day,then all of a sudden they pretty much stopped .As of now they have not laid an egg in about 3 months.The chickens are about a year and a half old. I live in southern ohio, the chickens were free ranging throughout the pasture.they are not going through a molt, and I feed them pretty regularly along with fresh water at all times.Currently I have got them locked back up in my barn to see if I can get them to start laying again.I have done a lot of research on this and the only thing that I could think would stop them from laying is that I had a coyote problem in my pasture a few weeks ago and the coyotes got a couple of my baby goats and maybe a chicken or two.I was thinking that maybe the chickens were just stirred up a little,dont know for sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.......Thanks a lot

I think the coyote visits could well be to blame. Stress often throws hens off laying and they can get stressed over the smallest things. Here are some of the most common causes of non-laying:
