Year old chicken stopped laying, don’t know why?

[RobN72]

Hi there!
My chicken Roxy has not been laying for about a week and she usually lays every other day. She is one year old and a bit. I don’t know why. She seems healthy. I clean her cage every week. I don’t think she has mites. She has worming prevention in her food and water. I don’t know if she is egg bound but I don’t know how to check. Does anyone have any ideas? Anything would be appreciated. She is my best hen and my first too.
Thanks

She might be molting. It’s close to that time of year!

 

[RobN72]

Yes but I haven’t noticed any extra feathers from her

She may be starting the process. I could be wrong, but i’m not sure

Did she lay during the winter? If so that might be why she is taking a break from laying now. She is likely to molt soon.

she started laying March

Ok

I’m just really worried about her

Some chickens molt very slow and delays there laying a bit longer. Going through it myself.

Egg laying usually stops before the feathers start to drop.
Most of mine have stopped laying for a couple weeks now,
only one is dropping feathers so far.
