27 weeks 3 days and still have 6 not laying

[Rebechenson75]

I've got 3 wynadottes, 1 Black Copper Marans and 2 Light Brahmas that are not laying yet. They are 27 weeks 3 days old. All but one light brahma look ready. The other two started laying around Dec 29.

How much light and calcium are they receiving? They may not lay until spring.

I keep oystershell in the run near their food. They have all day outside in the run. It is shady in the afternoons. Could this be affecting their laying?

It's normal for pullets who reach laying age in winter to not lay until spring. Just be patient

It's easier now with 2 laying. The eggs have all been gorgeous. The egg on the right was laid in a puddle. The gate to the coop had blown closed and they couldn't get in.
