Not laying eggs

[Candy11]

My 2 year old crested cream legbar has suddendly stopped laying eggs. It all started when we made a minor change to the coop entrance. We thought she might be laying somewhere else on the pasture but we looked for days trying to find the eggs. They are blue so they are easier to see. Maybe the night critters found the eggs and are eating them. One day we found her in the nesting box but a while later she was not there and there was no egg. She is on the lower end of the pecking order so maybe the other hens are chasing her away? Any thoughts? She is doing normal chicken behavior otherwise.

How long ago was the change to the coop?

If she's possibly laying them while out free ranging you may need to confine her to the coop and/or run for a few days to reset her to laying in the coop, or to find out for sure that she's not laying.

It's possible she could be molting or taking a summer break.
