My bantam cochins stopping laying

[Carolina Cochins]

I have bantam cochins, 1 rooster and 3 hens. They have been laying very good lately and now they all stopped . I changed their feed today to see if that helps.. Any tips on what to do to help them ??

How old are they? Are they molting? Chickens take winter breaks, starting when the days shorten.
Unless you were feeding them pure scratch and scraps, diet doesn't often apply

Thankyou, I think they're about a year and a half. I have been feeding them chicken feed, but I had it for a while so maybe it was too old.

Hens need fourteen to sixteen hours of light to produce eggs, and here we are down to twelve hours of daylight, decreasing daily. Add a small light in their coop, on a timer, starting at 3am or 4am every morning, if you want at least some eggs over winter.

That's the age where most chicken stop laying to molt.

What brand and model(protein and calcium percentages)?
Do you feed any other 'treats' or foods?
How long have you had that bag?
There's a manufacturing date that it's good to learn and pay attention to.
Usually printed on the sew strip at bottom of bag.

Thankyou, the feed I was feeding them was some that a local man makes, so now I switched to feed from tractor supply so it should be better. Here is a picture
