Chickens have laying seaons. When they come to an end of the laying season, they don't lay for 2-3 weeks, and then they begin a new egg season. Stress, bad food, and cold or hot weather can cause hens to stop laying until their envionment/conditions improve. A chicken won't lay if she's sick or distressed; her energy will go to keeping her alive instead of producing eggs.

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....
