I gave my friend an easter egger for his daughters bday. About a few months ago maybe 6 they said she started laying. Fot the last 2 months the hen has stopped. They gave the hen and the other one they had prior back to me. The other hen lays these great big eggs but still nothing from the easter egger.

I live in South Florida so its not cold. They gave the birds layer feed but I'm not sure at what age. They don't look sick. What else do you think it could be and what should i do? Please help me

The one EE I had in my FL flock stopped laying for 4 months during the winter months. Even though you don't get the cold of northern states, you do have shorter daylight hours.

As the days start getting longer, she should start to lay again.
 
EE's can be sporadic layers...depending on age she may be on 'winter break' after fall molt.
It's not the cold it's the length of daylight that affects laying...as well as a good balanced diet.
If she's 'running the yard' she may be laying out in the range area.
