Hen hasn’t laid in a month?!?!

[KKVDK]

Hi everyone! My 1 year old hen was laying regularly and all of a sudden stopped laying. She hasn’t laid an egg for a month! She’s not showing any signs of her being egg bound, but should i be worried? Thank you for ur time!

We have chickens that stop laying all the time, sometimes change of weather can cause the lapse in laying, stress also can cause it. A couple of years ago we had a hawk problem, a hawk would come and take a chicken nearly every day. During that time, the egg production of our hens slowed down because of the stress they were feeling. Another reason, is if a hen is hatching she will stop laying. Some hens won't become broody or sit on a clutch of eggs during this time, but they wont be laying eggs. If she is otherwise healthy I wouldn't be too concerned.

How old is she in months.....12 months or ~14-18 months?

What all and how exactly are you feeding?
Have the other hens stopped laying?
Do you free range?
