I live In Florida and My 6 month old buff Orpington has not laid any eggs yet. The other two Hens are americanas and they have been laying eggs for 2 weeks now along with my pekin ducks. The buff Orpington doesn’t crow but it does a weird scream. Also it seems territorial. Any advice? What do you think? Please help!
 
Looks like a beautiful pullet to me. She's looks like she'll be laying very soon. Have you tried checking her pelvic spacing?
Definitely!

No she’s not the friendliest of the three she always pecks at me and my kids when we try and handle her. I don’t think she would like that. What would I be checking for? A stuck egg? The other two are so sweet. @Momplus1
Do it off the roost at night.
I check the pelvic bones labeled F-F here:
