Our junior hen stopped laying in the coop! Provoked, it appears, by me mucking it out. No longer able to contemplate a pile of poo while laying, she's been forced to squeeze into a patch of mud under a pile of prunings in order to lay her eggs in sufficiently sordid surroundings.

The senior hen looks like she'll be coming into lay soon, so hopefully her good example will jostle the wayward witless one back into more hygienic habits.
