Cream legbar 28 weeks no eggs yet

[amd87]

I got 4 chicks at 1 week old April 11th, 2 cream legbar, 2 cream legbar/black copper maran mix. Both maran mixes and 1 of the legbars started laying weeks ago. But one either has not, or she has a nest somewhere while she is free ranging.
What are the chances she is still not laying? Or should I lock them in their coop and run for a few days to get her to lay where I can find them?

Yes, that is what I would do. Or on a day off, go out early in the morning, and wait. She will disappear, and you can follow her.

She may be laying a cream egg.
I have an older hatchery CL that does not lay a blue egg.

Do you have a photo of her? If she has very red comb and wattles then she might be laying somewhere else/about to start laying.

Also, you can put 3 fingers right below her vent and feel for 2 sharp bones. Those are pelvic bones. If they are 2 fingers apart, she's probably gonna start laying soon or just started, and 3 fingers if she is regularly laying. If only 1 fingers apart, she is not laying.
