We lost our top hen, she was a runt but still the alpha in our small (3) flock. Our Blue Sapphire stopped laying and she was pretty regular with 5 eggs a week. Is she mourning? On strike?

I am sorry for your loss.

Yes, stress can absolutely interrupt laying. In a flock of 3 this could happen. How did the other die? How long has it been?
 
Shirley laid only 6 eggs then she had one break inside her. It was Christmas morning that we brought her inside and nursed her till she passed. So it's been 3 weeks
