Hens stopped laying

[ETortellini]

They’re not molting, they have grit and oyster shell, been giving them multi-vitamins in the water. I figured maybe worms and have been giving them dewormer. I do have a lot of predators but the hens are safe. I’ve recently added to the flock but the existing flock had already stopped laying. Any idea?

Where do you live? How harsh is the winter where you live?

If it's winter where you are, the shorter daylight hours affect laying. They're likely on her winter break.

I’m in the northeast and past flocks haven’t stopped for this long. I don’t have a light inside the henhouse either.

Every bird is different, some do, some stop a little and some don't stop. This is normal.

My hens have quit laying also, no eggs since November and I have 3. Just added some 17 weekers to the brood hoping they will start laying soon.
