3 new chickens

[Malmendier]

About two months ago I have three new hens along with one that is about a year old. They all get along very well now. But I am only getting 3 eggs a day now . How can I figure out which chicken is not laying eggs.
We're hoping that maybe she will start soon..

Unless you are getting the exact same 3 eggs daily, they are probably just taking turns. And keep in mind that chickens don’t lay eggs everyday

Your choices are

1. to put food safe dye (a different color on each hen) on their cloaca so that when they lay they "paint" the egg

2. Pen them up separately just long enough to see which ones are laying

3. On yellow skinned breeds you can easily see how much pigment has been lost. Yellow legs and yellow skin will lighten over time especially with heavy layers. Usually the cloaca is moister and wider on a hen actively laying.

How old are the new birds?
Was your one year old bird laying before adding the new ones?
