Hen stopped laying.

[Chicken person]

I have four hens and 3 of them started laying a few weeks ago and the older RIR which is 2 months older than the others hasn't layed an egg in a week. What is wrong with her all the others are laying every day. Any suggestions?

Try giving her more protein. Protein is essential in a chicken's health. Does she seem to be eating well? How old is she? If she is a pullet she might just have decided to not start laying yet.

How old is she? She may be molting.

I have laying pellets for them to eat whenever they want. I don't think she is molting she has all her feathers and is only 8 months old. I don't know what's wrong with her?
