5 Mo old EE started laying and now, nothing

[AZGurl]

I have 2, 25 week old EE hens and 2 25 week old RIR hens. One EE began laying a few weeks ago and was laying about every 30 hrs. She hasn't laid in 3 days. She drinks tons of water, eats voraciously, poops, and runs around.
Is it normal for a young hen to lay intermittently in the beginning or should I be worried?
Thank you!

Quite normal. If the hen looks and acts healthy she probably is. Don't worry, I've a pullet who laid a few eggs then stopped for five days then started laying again.

Thank you. That sets my mind at great ease. I even checked to see if she had an egg stuck and got pooped on! LOL

We are on day 6 and she keeps going in and out of the nesting box. She's agitated and slow but eating, drinking, and pooping. I feel worried but when I feel her backside, there's nothing there. Anyone have any further advice?

She did it! Laid another egg, finally! It was a small one but she is so relieved; probably more than I am.
