My chicken stopped laying since November... And never started again!

[Relleoms]

For what it’s worth, I have a 3 year old EE that never resumed laying after her molt the very first fall, and now I have a 2019 hatch EE doing the same thing. They both continue to do “normal” chicken stuff and exhibit no indication of illness. They free range occasionally, but not enough to lay outside the coop. I figure as long as they seem healthy, it’s just a glitch

Huh, what is she some sort of barred naked neck?

Yes, where I live this breed is very common! They are just naturally bald necks and they re called "bald chickens"!

She looks active.

Time for an exam:

Then:
Free range birds sometimes need to be 'trained'(or re-trained) to lay in the coop nests, especially new layers. Leaving them locked in the coop for a week or so can help 'home' them to lay in the coop nests. Fake eggs/golf balls in the nests can help 'show' them were to lay. They can be confined to coop and maybe run 24/7 for a few days to a week, provided you have adequate space and ventilation, or confine them at least until mid to late afternoon. You help them create a new habit and they will usually stick with it. ..at least for a good while, then repeat as necessary.

Thank yoy! However i searched all over the garden and saw no eggs... We garden often and never seen any too. So weird!

Seems like the same situation, so odd! Lets just wait, what matters is that they are healthy
