Hen not laying

[Annalyse]

I have 2 plymouths and my 1 isnt laying like she usually does. It's been day 2 and no egg. She has no signs of sickness or anything so what's wrong?

Oh there like 7 maybe 8 months now idk

Day 2 as in she hasn't laid in 2 days? Chickens don't lay daily so doesn't mean anything's wrong with her. If she's 7-8 months she's still young and some sporadic laying is to be expected.

You can look up her specific breed and see an average of how many eggs she will lay per year. For example, I have New Hampshire Reds and they usually lay 200-280 eggs per year. As there are 365 days in a year, I know to not expect an egg every day.
