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?
