We had a racoon break into our coup a few weeks ago and kill one of our hens. The remaining hens stopped laying eggs completely. Is there something we can do to help them feel safe? to restart their laying?
 
How old are they? The stress coupled with shortening day light period has caused them to take a break in their laying cycle. If they are older birds, they may not resume laying until spring. Supplemental lighting may help restart them earlier.
This^^^ if you are in the northern hemisphere.

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!
