Wow ! If they are truly 32 weeks old someone should be laying. My red sex links started laying at 17 weeks and haven't stopped even in Texas heat. You may need to get the kids out for an egg hunt..I bet you will find some under something..shrubs,,bushes..wheelbarrow..somewhere..I don't let my hens out until after 11:00 when they are pretty much through laying..but I leave the coop door open for them and they will still go to the nest box to lay.When my older hens slack off I give them oatmeal soaked in a little water or milk.. works every time..they love it..go

Do you cook the oatmeal? And do you make it like a soup?

No need to cook and you want to just get the oats full of water so that the chickens don't choke on it.
