if they are too old they will go off permanently for just a short (or long) period of time the reasons could be: -not enough food -not enough water -too cold -too hot (our chooks went off the lay dureing the heat wave in summer [i live in Victoria, Australia]) -it it is being bullied buy other chooks (boot polish helps to deteer this behavious, just smear it on the chook) -if it a bit clogged up, constipation (a dose of cod-liver oil down her throaght should get her moveing again) and yeah, that about it
