2 of my bantam hens haven't laid eggs since end of last summer. They 2 years in July. One of them gets bullied the other doesn't. We are just curious why they haven't been laying?
 
A photo of them would be nice.
Bantams are notorious at hiding eggs. Do they free range?
Another possibility is egg eating.. by them or someone else in the flock.
Broody?
Pest infestation?
Stress from bullying?
I had OEGB and Japanese bantams. They were both pretty regular layers but stopped completely in winter due to cold weather. The Japs were always going broody and were great mothers.
 
They don't free range and we check the nesting box several times a day.
