Are you sure Frost is not a rooster?
Yes. Same size as the other EE, no spurs, saddle feathers, etc. Doesn't crow. Looks and acts like the other hens just doesn't lay eggs.

JuneBugGena knows what she's talking about. She suggested a higher protein food before so I switched from layer pellets to flock grower with 20% protein. In less than a week almost all of my girls started laying everyday. I at least 17 eggs a day, but a couple days ago I got 21 eggs from 24 active layers in one day!

LOL, I have four children between 8 and 12. They eat a lot and eggs make easy protein rich snacks for them. I give some to friends too.

Oh, I see. It sounds like your chickens are being very well fed.
I've heard of true Ameraucanas waiting as long as 18 months to lay their first egg. Easter eggers and Ameraucanas have the same origins. Also, the time of year that she was hatched may impact when she starts laying. It also has to do with the individual bird. For example, I have three black Ameraucana sisters. Two laid their first eggs right after Christmas when they were eight months old. The other just laid her first egg last week at 10 months old. My "gang of nine" easter egger sisters were the same way. It took three or four months for all of them to lay their first egg.
