Your RIR may have stopped laying for several reasons. Hens need 14 hours of light to regularly lay eggs, as the natural light is reduced during seasonal changes, hens will slow their egg production if you do not provide artificial lighting. The birds could also be coming into a molt. Molting is a time when the birds devote much of their energy into replacing feathers. Egg production is secondary at this time and will often slow or stop for a few weeks. Aging out is also possible. Hens will slow and eventually stop producing eggs anytime after about three years old.
