Australorp not laying every day

[Molliep2]

I have three hens, a Rhode Island red, barred rock and an Australorp. The barred rock and Rhode Island red lay eggs each day, however it seems like the Australorp will occasionally lay an egg. She is acting normal, eating and drinking, and running around. Does this happen with this breed? Thanks!

How old are they? If she's acting normal I wouldn't worry. Australorps are Dual-purpose chickens, meaning they are for both eggs and meat, but aren't that good at either.

Chickens don’t always lay an egg everyday. Depending on breed, age, season, nutrition, stress, health etc. If she isn’t acting off I wouldn’t worry.

Mine has been laying 1-3 eggs per week since January.
