Our speckled sussex agatha hasn't been laying any eggs lately, we can tell since her eggs have a matted shell and none of those have shown up. shes the same age as the rest of the flock and they are still laying, and i dont see any molting going on. what else could it be?
 
It's possible her eggs have changed a bit in appearance. See if her vent looks relaxed and moist, or drawn up and small and dry; just compare her to one of the others. See if her belly feels full or distended, or if you feel an egg near the vent, through the skin, or check internally for an egg.

Egg bound
