Easter egger egg laying question

[Vaskarb12]

Can you guys help me out about when my chicken might lay its first egg? It has been 6 and 1/2 month but she still hasn’t had her first egg.

Do you free range? If so, she might be already....in a hidden nest somewhere. If not, any time now. I have late layers too....waiting is the hardest part!

She is not free range. I keep her in my basement.

Does she get at least 14hrs of light a day? What are you feeding her?

Does she live with other chickens?

Oh.....so she is your only chicken? She may not know where to lay.....do you have a nesting box set up? Putting golf balls or fake eggs where you want her to lay will help. How is the natural lighting in your basement?

No, she is the only one.

I use to feed her chick feed, but now I feed her scratch.

I keep her next to the window but I really can’t take her outside because it’s cold in Saint Louis.
