31 week old australorp - no eggs

[FiveMileCreek]

We have two 31-week-old australorps and a Amerecauna about the same age. So far the australorps are not laying eggs at all. I have checked them over and there is no sign of parasites. They are fed a 20% all- flock feed with oyster shell freely available.

The coop is cleaned every day. The egg boxes are also clean. They have a 600 ft² run that they have access to. I check the run and the egg boxes every day and so far only sweetie is laying eggs. I love her beautiful blue eggs. But when can I expect the australorps to start laying?

Ameraucana take awhile to start, so I'm shocked your Australop haven't been laying already. They should anytime after 20 weeks old (5 months). I have my pullets start laying at 16 weeks old (4 months).
Do you have pictures of them?
Do you know if maybe they have a clever hiding place or a snake is eating eggs?

Hi. They are all laying now. This was an old post from last year. And no - there wasn't a hiding place or anything. She just wasn't laying. Thanks for reading

Oh good deal! That's the longest I've heard a breed like that take to lay eggs.
I had no idea it was that old. I just received it recently in an email, so I figured it was a recent post needing some advice.
