No eggs from almost 2yr old hen

[CKfarm22]

I have an almost 2 year old (2 in march) Cream Legbar hen. She molted this winter and it didn’t take her long to start laying eggs, end of december being of january is when they started laying again. The last time i got a shelled egg from her was February 15 and then nothing after. Saturday 2/25 she laid a soft shell egg in the poop board during the night. Ever since then, no eggs from her. I’m concerned about it. She is eating, drinking and roaming around like normal. She hasn’t gone into the nesting box at all since then. I tried to feel her abdomen but i don’t really know what i’m feeling for.

If she's acting normal/active, eating/drinking then I wouldn't be too concerned.
You can give her extra calcium for a few days. 1 Calcium Citrate with D3 daily for 3-4 days. Just pull down on her wattles and pop the pill into her beak, let her swallow.

Some hens take breaks as they get older. Do check her over for lice/mites, see that her crop is emptying as well.

I gave her a tablet tonight. Her crop is emptying!

Is it possible she could still be molting? A lot of her bigger feathers were in the coop today…

Yes it's possible. Some birds go through a full blown molt while others molt more gradually.

And it’s normal for them to lay eggs sparingly while molting gradually?

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Yes, it's possible for her to be molting.
Do you see new feathers coming in?

Some hens stop producing eggs when in molt while others may continue here and there.

Again, if she's eating/drinking/active, then I wouldn't be that concerned at this point.

I just realized that i never replied. I will check her tomorrow to see if she has any new feathers coming in.

Still eating, drinking and active. I’m just concerned as i had a hen pass away due to an internal egg thing that we caught too late :/
