Various reasons will decrease or stop egg laying. Laying tends to die off in the winter when the days are shorter and the weather cooler. Older chickens will also experience decreased egg production. If a chicken is not in an ideal environment or is experiencing stress or depression they might stop laying altogether.

Why have your bantam quit laying over night?
When chickens get to an age they decide to stop laying. They just get too old. Because it is winter at the moment, chickens are molting (loosing all of their feathers) and they often have a 'break' from laying for about a month. I have 20 or so chickens and I am only getting 3 eggs a day because most of them are molting. Your bantam could just be being slack or just old. Hope this helps....

My chickens quit laying eggs several weeks ago what do you do to make them lay again?
Hens often times quit laying eggs if they are in molt, It is to cold, or they are old. If it is cold where you live try giving them a heat lamp in the coop. If they are in molt you will have to wait until they are done. When hens get old they quit laying and are just cute pets! There are lots of good chicken sites on-line. Just goggle "raising chickens" and you should get tons of info.
What does it mean when your chickens haven't laid eggs for a long time?
During the winter they don't lay eggs as much because there isn't as much daylight or when they get older they quit laying eggs. I used to have a chicken!
What are some natural ways to stimulate egg laying?
You can stimulate egg laying by increasing the day length with lighting, and by keeping your coop at a higher temperature in winter. If you are getting 3 or more eggs per week per chicken, that is about all you can expect. In Northern Canada, my chickens pretty much quit laying in November and then start back to laying in late February. This is because of the shorter day light and colder temperatures. (They live in an insulated coop but they keep the coop at about freezing with their body heat.)
