My young chicken just started laying about a week ago. She had an egg daily for about 4 days. After day 2 the eggs started getting bigger and for 2 days she laid average sized eggs. Yesterday no egg and she was lethargic. I was quite worried about her. Today again no egg but, she is not lethargic. She is eating and drinking well.

Question....when should I get worried? Is it normal for a young hen to not lay for a couple of days early on?
 
New layers can be erratic. Laying for an week then taking a break is not unusual.
