Anyone else have EE Pullets who hatched at the beginning of May?

I have 9 EEs, all hatched April 7th. Today, Tina Louise laid the first blue egg:

Our EE Bella was hatched sometime in mid to late April we think. No eggs from her yet!

So I went to check on the girls and close the run door since they were all in bed and as I was counting them on their roost when I noticed one was missing. It's because she was in the nesting box! No egg, but I'm excited she was in there checking it out. Maybe there will be an egg in the morning. But I think I'm too hopeful.

Anyone from this thread getting any eggs? We aren't from our EE, I wouldn't expect to see any for quite some time, she is still not showing any signs of maturity. Aren't EEs late layers anyway?

No Eggs here, but we did have a girl hanging out in the nesting box for about an hour last night while all the others were perched, she went to bed after that with everyone else. She also was singing the egg song earlier that day. But today I haven't heard anything but their normal chatter.
I'm hopeful, but in reality it could probably be another month, or more!

I have 2 EE pullets born on 5/1 (Goldie and Perry) and I am still eagerly awaitng my first eggs! They certainly look ready-- their combs are pretty red, and they look healthy and big enough!

My two EEs started laying at 22 weeks exactly. They had very pink combs and full bodies for almost a month prior, but no egg song and no real interest in the nest box before the first eggs appeared. Hang in there everyone!

I got my first egg today from my EE Willow who was hatched on 4/4/10. It was a small tan egg ~ I was hoping for green from her.

I have 4 EE pullets hatched on 5/1 and no eggs yet. I had high hopes that one was doing a strange squat walk, but was told that was a false alarm. So, I'll wait with the rest of you!

Congratulations Julie!! Bummer it's not blue, but it's an egg!
