I have 7 mixed breed hens that were laying fine in january and stopped in march. They are only 9 to 2 years old. I didnt change feed or anything i only got one hen that lays an egg every 2 days. I feed them laying pellets. Its good weather too sunny not cold or hot. I dont free range them they do have a big run with grass but i check in it for eggs everyday and nothing
Please help
 
Perhaps there is a predator about that is stressing them.
When young birds all stop laying at once and the nutrition is good, there must be some other stressor.
Try boosting the protein by adding some meat or fish to the diet. While they're not laying much, you could switch from layer to a higher protein grower feed.

no i dont think there is any predator as i have an electric wire around my coop and under the the ground in case they dig. And i did add protein
I got protein pill for birds from the vet and i add eggs the pellets
