I have a 2year old Delaware Chicken, She stopped laying eggs 3months ago the rest of my bird are all laying eggs daily.
She is eating normal she is very active we live in Arizona so we have plenty of sunlight and its not to hot yet. Also she is not Molting so why at such a young age did she stop laying
* This is the best picture I got of her she is hanging out in my Garden

You can tell her eggs from all the rest?
How many other birds do you have?

If you free range, she may be laying out in range area.

Might be time for an exam:

Then maybe......
Free range birds sometimes need to be 'trained'(or re-trained) to lay in the coop nests, especially new layers. Leaving them locked in the coop/run for a week or so can help 'home' them to lay in the coop nests. Fake eggs/golf balls in the nests can help 'show' them were to lay. They can be confined to coop and maybe run 24/7 for a few days to a week, provided you have adequate space and ventilation, or confine them at least until mid to late afternoon. You help them create a new habit and they will usually stick with it. ..at least for a good while, then repeat as necessary.
