Our actively laying Easter Egger chicken, Fluffy Puff, was attacked by a hawk three years ago. I saw it swoop in and chased it away. She lost a bunch of feathers but was otherwise ok. But she stopped laying at that instant. She's a great chicken and over time I joked "let me squeeze her tummy to start laying again". No such luck.

Well, this year, on 8/4, she started laying again and gave us 45 eggs since then. So my point is, never give up! The eggs are there, they just need to be coaxed out over time!
 
Interesting. One of mine stopped laying after contacting EYP and never laid again. Of course, this is because her reproductive organs met too much damage from the infection. I wonder what made your bird stop for so long.
