I have a golden comet hen. She turns two this April. Last summer, around August, she started hit-and-miss laying, then a couple soft eggs, then a large egg, then a couple plunks-in-the-night soft eggs, then nothing. She is otherwise acting fine. She eats well, drinks well, has free access to oyster shell. When free-ranging she runs to her favorite dirt bath spot. She gets a weekly protein boost with meal worms, or boiled egg, or tuna ... whatever I have.

I thought something may have spooked her. Then with fall/winter coming I expected her to stop. But I have a couple other hens, they have started their sporadic laying. She will get in the nestbox for a while each morning, with no results.

Any ideas what I'm looking at?
 
She may be having reproductive tract issues, but since she seems otherwise healthy my gut is that she will soon resume laying. Good luck to her and to you.
