One of my hens went through a Moult this fall. She stopped laying for about 7 weeks or so, Then in mid early December she started laying again. Egg production was good for about 3 weeks then she stopped laying completely. No eggs for about 2 weeks now.

I realize we are at the shortest daylight part of the year, but is this start then stop normal? Feed is Mule City layer( 17% protein).
 
I've had that happen. How old is your hen?
I had an ameraucana that was about 5 or 6 that resumed laying at the end of December and laid for about 4 weeks, then stopped for about 4 or 5 weeks and then resumed.
As daylength increases, she should reboot.
 
She's about 2 years old and is an Ameraucana

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll just wait until the days get longer.
