Have a 6 month old RIR. Treated sour crop with miconozole for a week and cured her. Two weeks later she still hasn't laid an egg. She is my best layer. Started at 22 weeks and laid an egg every day since. Her last egg was her second day of sickness. Will she ever lay again?
 
Just because this cessation of laying has occurred right after suffering a crop disorder doesn't necessarily mean it caused the cessation.

If your location is on the top half of the planet, days are getting shorter as winter commences. This turns off the laying hormones. Most of my hens have already quit laying. Just three out of eighteen are still laying, and I expect those to stop any day.
