Are you giving them enough boring time in the coop? I know the silkies I had if I didn't keep them locked in till around noon those girls never gave me eggs. They would play all day!

Your birds sure look healthy and well loved! So I definitely didn't see any health concerns.

I did the same thing! They had so much fun and attention all the time they never even thought about eggs till they got a Little bored. My barred rock girls are not like that though. Just the silkies.

Maybe try keeping them in the little coop with nesting boxes for a few extra hours before they go out to all the toys. This could make them think about eggs rather than playing.

They could possibly be laying somewhere in your yard, which could attract predators (especially skunks). If I'm not getting eggs from a hen it has to stay in the coop until it lays. If it comes to late afternoon and I know they won't lay for that day, I let them out to forage until bedtime with the others. A few days of this generally reinforces the idea that they have to lay in the nesting box. Hope this helps!

By looks they should be actively laying.. hidden nest would be suspect.. consider locking them in for a few days to find out.
