36 week Americaunas not laying yet?

[SaintTangerine]

I got two approximately 12 week old Americauna pullets in Mid-may, and they are still not laying yet. They are healthy otherwise, though way more skittish than my barred rocks. Could this be because they matured when the light was waning? I've checked the run and there are no stashes of hidden eggs.

Mine were hatched last year in march and I didn't get an egg until Thanksgiving. They take longer to lay, worth the wait!

I have six East eggers, which I guess have about the same duration to mature. They were hatched on 4/21. One began to lay green egg a month ago, pretty regularly; Another 2 weeks but only two eggs so far. Nil for other four. Just FYI. I am holding out for them for another 3-4 four weeks. Did read somewhere about them taking seven months to lay eggs...

My three EE pullets are 38 weeks. The first didn't lay until week 32, and the third one still isn't laying.

Our cuckoo EE didn't start laying until she hit 7 1/2 months of age. She lays huge pink eggs with white speckles.

I would still love to see a picture of those beautiful sounding eggs!

Here's one next to a different chicken egg.

It's the egg on the left.

My EEs started laying at about six months of age. The one time I got Ameraucanas, they started at eleven (!!!) months of age. Never again!

That is a beautiful egg! I have never seen one like that. Very cool!

Thank you.
Now I need EEs that lay green, & blue to add variety.
