Why is my girl not laying?

[sbelmont2]

We have a Maran who is not quite a year old. She has been a rockstar layer until recently. About 8 weeks ago, we added new chicks and made some changes to the coop/run. We know that was stressful. She started molting and stopped laying. After about a week, she stopped dropping feathers. She didn’t molt completely (no bare patches). She seems completely healthy and her behavior is normal, but she still hasn’t laid an egg. Her diet is good. She is drinking and eating. Should we be concerned?

All birds will take a break in their laying cycle. Changes/stress may have triggered the molt and break. As long as she is eating/drinking and acting normally, she will lay again in her own good time.

Can take them some time to fully molt, you won't always noteice if they molt more slowly/softly...and the days are getting exponentially shorter now, big affect on laying...and Marans are not always the most prolific layers.
How old is this bird?
