Barred Rock quit laying

[DMackie]

My Barred Rock (Rocky) hasn't laid an egg for 3 days and she normally lays one a day. Her butt had lots of poop on it and I washed it today. Her vent looks fine but she has a bald spot below it. I felt around for egg bound but don't think I felt anything although I don't really know what that would feel like. I put some Apple Cider vinegar and B12 in their water tonight. We give meal worms treats almost every day and feed layer pellets. Should I be worried? My other two orpingtons are laying one a day.

How old is she? It’s perfectly normal for chickens to go a few days without laying an egg. Even high production birds take a couple days off. We need more information to know what (if anything) is wrong.

Chickens should be taking breaks from laying it is actually quite healthy for them.

OK great! Here are pics after washing her butt. Quite a bit with no feathers.

She is about 1 1/2. Her energy is good and she seems happy.

She's being picked, but she looks fine otherwise.
