Easter Egger not laying

[user23553]

We got our chickens at the beginning of April when they were chicks and we raised them since, well two of our chickens started laying eggs probably 2 months ago and we still haven't gotten any eggs from our easter egger. when we walk by her she lays down like the other ones so we can pet her but we haven't gotten any eggs. any information as to why we haven't will help greatly. I'm gonna attach photos of her and our other chickens. the other two in the pictures lay everyday without a problem. she's the black and white one in the front.

The thing is, the days are getting shorter. If they haven’t laid by the end of this month, they will probably wait till spring.

it's a possibility but i make sure to walk thru the whole yard every morning and during the day and haven't found one

This is a really good possibility. Some years ago a little hen of mine almost ended up in the stew pot since she never laid. I erroneously assumed there was no unsearched area in the run. Thankfully for her I decided to do some remodeling of the run and found a hidden slit leading under a shed she had hidden a good 50 eggs in!
I would never in a million years have thought she could squeeze through that tiny of a space to get under the shed.
Chickens and cats, both can become liquid if they really want to.

Are you positive she hasn't laid?
Not all EE's lay blue/green eggs.

Don't fuss. Many hens born this year won't be fertile until Spring. She looks like she's a different breed from the others. Chickens are like humans. Some get their period before others. My earliest chick this year, born on 6th May, is not laying. I would give it time.

Some just take longer than others but with new layers sometimes they don’t know that they need to be laying in the nest boxes. She could have a nest very well hidden (they’re super sneaky).

She is beautiful! Some hens just take longer, but if she is squatting it shouldn't be much longer

Could she have a hidden nest?

She looks like a Speckled Sussex to me

that's what i was thinking after looking it up online just wasn't fully sure. i've read that they are poor layers is that true?
