Easter Egger laying problem?

just for comparison. My ee started laying about 3 weeks ago and has laid a pretty green egg every other day since. we live in South Texas, so we probably have more daylight than some areas. I am still looking into some supplemental light in the coop, however.

 

One thing that I have read on the boards is that pullets do not need additional light, it won't make any difference in
what they will lay/not lay their first winter. I'm not sure if this is correct or not.

Last week I had an egg bound pullet and it was obvious to me that she was having a problem. Of course this is
my first experience with an egg bound girl. She was a bit "hunched" not acting like any of her coop mates.

I have 16 pullets all the same age and get anything between 3 - 7 eggs per day since they started laying. Some
lay on a regular basis, some go a few days in between. I'm just letting it continue and enjoy what I find each day.
Two of my 16 are EE's and I have not seen a colored egg yet.

 

Sporadic egg laying in a new layer is normal. You said she laid her first egg three weeks ago, so I wouldn't be worried about it unless she is showing signs of being egg bound.

 

If you do a search on "eggbound" I am sure you will find a lot of information. One note on what I was told on Ameraucana's. When I got mine the lady explained that they are not the best layers through winter. If your EE is an Ameraucana cross, she might not lay steadily until spring. I do have to comment though that the two Ameraucana pullets that I have started laying a couple of weeks ago and they have been pretty steady layers. I don't get an egg every day but at least every other day so please look up the symptoms of eggbound. She is probably fine but it is better to have the knowledge.
