I just experienced a complete stop with two of my 9 month old pullets who had been laying. One stopped for six weeks and I finally noticed that she was going through a sort of mini- molt. Same story with the other one. Both had been laying very well since they began.

We went thru the same thing --- lucky to get a dozen eggs a day from over 100 hens.
I think it was a combination of things here: changes in temperature, molting, psycho stray dogs running around all night keeping everyone disturbed.

Can't control the weather, but everyone sleeps better at night and the girls are laying better.

Have you noticed your girls molting?
Hope things straighten out there.
