1st Egg then NOTHING??

[Wheeler Farms Chickens]

I got my first egg three days ago and I have not had one since. I added a light to come on from 3am until 730am this morning. They 22 weeks old. 2 lt brahmas, 2 buff orps, 2 new hamp reds and 2 silver laced wyandotts. Is it normal to get one egg and then not get any?

sometimes when they first start it takes them a few trys to get it right.
so dont worry if you only get an egg here and there in the begining.

I got my first egg ever about 6 weeks ago and nothing since! I figured she was waiting til spring and I'm okay with that. And so, come spring... I got those girls working double time.

Yeah, that's actually pretty normal. Three days' without an egg isn't much to worry about when they're starting out. It's with some breeds also nothing to worry about even if they've been laying for a while!

Congratulations.
