I'm from Leicestershire and have a short tongue so maybe thats the reason for my short r's
My 4 Black Rocks continue to lay fine - 1 egg each per day (apart from one who has been a bit poorly but seems on the mend so hopefully will start laying again any day now!). I am no expert, but I assume that as your hens are about a year old then the moult seems the most obvious reason for the tailing off of laying. If they are displaying the sighns of moult then I would assume that is what it is. Give them poultry spice and wait for them to recover. It must take an awful lot of energy to grow a new plumage, poor things! If no signs then maybe think again.
