I have 2 one year old hens and 1 lays but the other has stopped since I got her! She looks at it and moves on the one that is laying just started since I moved them form the field to the barn! I just got a rooster too?!?! Help please!
 
If you move them to a new location that can stress them out and cause them to stop laying for awhile. Sometimes stress can be added when you get a rooster but that has never stopped mine from laying. They could be molting. And it is winter and very cold here, dont know where you are. But less hours of daylight, causes them to stop laying
 
I agree. The move, changes in her environment, or molting could have stopped her.

Also check for signs of parasites, internal and external.

And, finally, check to see if she is laying somewhere else other than the nest box. She may not agree with how the nest box is situated or simply is fickle.

My guesses.
