Egg laying stopped

[rkelly01]

One of my girls played 15 days in a row and nothing the last 2 days. Her behavior is normal, eating and drinking just fine. She's 20.5 weeks old. Is it normal to take a break or could she be egg bound?

It's not unusual for them to miss a couple of days even when first starting out. If she's behaving normally then she's probably just fine. Keep your eye on her and post again if something seems wrong with her or if she doesn't resume laying in a few days.

Most birds don't lay day after day after day.
Some only lay a few a week.
What breed is she?

I'm not sure, maybe Americana but she's laying again after taking a 2 day break

Not an Americana or an Ameraucana nor even an Easter Egger.
Red something.

Looks like a red sex link. she was just taking a break, to be expected after 15 days of consistent production
