hen not laying anymore?!

Could she be laying out in range area?
How long have you had this bird?

Might want to start with an exam:

Then maybe:
Free range birds sometimes need to be 'trained'(or re-trained) to lay in the coop nests, especially new layers. Leaving them locked in the coop for a week or so can help 'home' them to lay in the coop nests. Fake eggs/golf balls in the nests can help 'show' them were to lay. They can be confined to coop and maybe run 24/7 for a few days to a week, provided you have adequate space and ventilation, or confine them at least until mid to late afternoon. You help them create a new habit and they will usually stick with it. ..at least for a good while, then repeat as necessary.
my rhw and my isa kay different colored eggs, so i always know when one of them lays.
 
today she laid and egg. it look like she crushed it and possibly ate the yolk?? the yolk was missing. she laid it in the nesting box. i’ve had her since she was 7 weeks i believe.
Well, that might have solved the mystery, no other nest messes found in the recent past?
She may be ramping down production to molt, can get some funky eggs around molting time.
