My hen started laying and then stopped

[Seth_12]

I have a splash marans hen who is over year old and she started laying for 2 weeks then she stopped. She did have soft eggs issues. All of her eggs that she laid were soft shell except for the last one. I gave her some oyster shells but she never laid another egg. All of my other hens are laying except for her. I feed them Purina Layena and never had a problems with egg laying unless they were molting. My marans doesn't look sick and she seems fine, I'm not sure what is happening.

Not sure where you are in the world but my girls stop laying during the winter (lack of daylight, molt, cold weather).
Is she pooping, eating, drinking normally?

I live in St. Louis, Missouri and the weather has been warmer than usual and most of my hens are laying. Everything is normal with her. She acts like a normal chicken. Nothing looks out of the ordinary. I know she's not molting because she molted early fall. So she stop laying for about 2-3 months and then she started her egg production in mid December. That is when she had soft shell egg problems and then she stop again. Hasn't laid an egg ever since.

Hmmm, I wish I could be of more help to you. Hope some of the good people here can offer their advice.

She may ramp back up once the days get longer.....or you may just have a 'lemon'.
