We have a 9 or 10 month old polish who was regularly giving us about 3 - 4 eggs a week. She has suddenly stopped. Not one egg from her in nealry 2 weeks. Not broody, no signs of illness. She is too flighty to pick up to see if she if egg bound (and I wouldn't know what to do to check that)
Could she have found somewhere else to lay? Normally her and our australorp lay in the same box.
It has been quite chilly and we have just passed the winter solstice and I know daylight hours can be a factor.
Is it something I should be concerned about?
Thanks in advance for you thoughts.

Thanks. Don't think she is molting but it's mostly dark when we leave and dark when we get home. It's my first winter as a mum to girls! Makes me feel better and I will spend some extra time with them all on the weekend.
 
Not sure if is related or if our Pol Pol is just stupid, but came home second night in a row now to find her 6 foot up on a tree branch in the dark. Not sure why she's getting there but hope it's a good view for her
