She looks like a Speckled Sussex to me

I’m pretty sure that’s what she is. And I didn’t find that true for mine. She was a great layer.

My easter eggers are the same age as yours (mid april) and 1 EE laid 2 1/2 weeks ago and the other, just started this week. I bet any time now you will get an egg. 1 of mine lays a light creamy color egg and the other a nice shade of green.

i just found her first egg she layed it yesterday ! it was slight grayish green

I got my girls sometime in Mai of last year and they didn't start until the middle of November.

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).

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.
