I have about 15 various breeds of hens. I haven't collected an egg in almost two months. We have had a long string of freezing nights. But I have never gone this long without collecting an egg. I did get one egg two days in a row, but now nothing again.

Any ideas?
 
Are you supplementing with any light due to the shorter days? We had to add lighting to the coop so that the girls get about 14 hours of light per day.
 
Have you been seeing feathers everywhere? How old are they? If they are older than 12 months, they are most likely molting - and they cannot lay eggs during this time. All their energy has to go into regrowing feathers. Give them high protein snacks to help them along.
