Almost 17 weeks old and still NO EGGS!!!

In my experience EEs take longer to lay

Same here. On the good side though, once they started mine have been some of my most faithful layers.

It's so hard waiting for eggs, isn't it?​

Mine are 22 weeks and no eggs, you still have a few weeks to go. Sorry but I do feel your pain!

I agree. My Easter eggers are the only ones who lay every day. They have definitely made up for the extra weeks they took to lay!

All the Easter Eggers I have had laid at 19-20 weeks, just like every other breed.

I agree that is too young. Mine are 21 weeks and I have no eggs either. I'm still impetaiently waiting for my first egg.

I believe it's around 19 weeks that you want to switch them to a layer feed.

The earliest I have ever had mine start laying was 18 weeks (Buff Orpington/Barred Rock cross).

I like to switch mine to layer feed at 16-17 weeks old.
