Hi there,
As long as she is eating and drinking I wouldn't worry too much. I have about a dozen hens at the moment and about 20 Quail and sometimes they all go on strike! Especially this time of year when the weather becomes colder and darker. I have some that lay nothing at all over Winter

As long as she seems healthy and bright she's probably fine. I have a couple of hens that are quite old now and only lay the occasional egg, a few that are at POL and the rest lay about 4-5 eggs a week, sometimes my white egg laying leghorn stops for a few weeks then starts again so I think its just normal

If they are hybrid chooks thry are more likely to lay through the winter, or so I'm told!
