Maybe they stopped laying because they are thinking of becoming broody?

I thought my girls stopped laying.

Turns out, I have an egg eating banty... I'm picking up golf balls today and, if that doesn't work, Banty finds new home or gets put in the freezer.

That was dark... Anywhoooo. Maybe check for that as well or, as Sue said, they're looking to go broody. I find the fluctuations in temperature also denotes whether my girls go on strike or not. After being +7 on Saturday down to -40 today, I more than suspect I'll have 3 or 4 eggs, that's if the egg eater doesn't get them first.
