I have a crested cream legbar, she layed beautiful blue eggs for about a two months, then stopped.

She's around two years old. Healthy looking, eating well, drinking well, acting normal but hasn't laid a single egg since the start of spring. Shes never shown signs of illness. Her colmb is nice and red.
Every other hen is laying.
Any ideas what's going on?
 
There is such a thing as a 'dud' hen. A hen can appear to be perfectly healthy, but never lay an egg. I've got one. She laid for about a month, and hasn't laid since. Just like people, some chickens might seem normal, but not able to reproduce.
 
I have had some stop and never lay again, I have some that lay a bit, than stop for a few months than lay a bit again, every chicken is different, they are never predictable.
