what does the egg look like? Is it soft shelled? If so that is the "trial egg" so to say...they at times don't know they are laying an egg...I watched one of mine the other night, stop eating, looked up and out popped her soft shelled egg! Funny!
Keep an eye under the roost, you should...

I do have golf balls in mine, and did find 4 eggs in that nest box yesterday, but I am going to leave them in there for a bit, till they really get the hang of it, they just push them out of the way...

I am now putting my girls in jail...I have 2 secret nests...they hold them in till I let them free range then they bullet to these nests...some lay inside though..so today, nobody leaves till I say so!
they have only been laying about a week or two, I found 4 in one nest box...
I am locking mine down today...nobody free ranges...found another secret nest last night, but it was full of broken eggs...so that's it....till they learn, it's the coop!
