White Leghorn stopped laying

[xjonesy]

I have 5 hens, 2 of which are White Leghorns. They are all 1 year old. All 5 have laid great last fall and through the winter. Then suddenly about a month ago one of my White Leghorns stopped laying. I get 4 eggs every day, but only one white egg. All 5 hens look clean, no dirty feathers or sign of mites. Any thoughts on what would cause this, or specifically what I can do to get her to start laying again?

Thank you!

Is she going through molt?

Have you felt her abdomen to be certain that she doesn't have an egg stuck in there?

There could be any number of reasons.

How old is she?

I don't think she's molting -- how could I tell? I thought they only did that in the Fall? Like I said, she's just about a year old.

If she does have an egg stuck, how do I get it out?

I have the exact same problem except my white leghorn has not layed an egg since December. I posted about it last week:

and received a couple of answers one of which was that maybe it was a mite/lice problem but I cant seem to find any on her.

Hope you/we find an answer.
