Don't worry, unless you have artificial lighting in your coop you may not get any eggs til Spring. For some unknown reason one of my 6 mo. old EE's laid 8-10 eggs back in Dec. and stopped. I never have had a pullet start laying at this time of year. I don't use any supplementary lighting but may try it next year. My EE's are not the so called "mutt" type but are chickens that I have had for many years and have been bred to produce only various shades of blue eggs.

Be patient. We got our first EE egg today, at 29 weeks and 6 days. It was a beautiful mint green egg and really large too.

I got our first egg today from one of my EE's at 24 weeks old. I can't believe one of them started laying in winter. We put a light up in the coop today to come on in the morning just before dawn and turn on at dusk for a bit to see if we can get the others laying and keep production up. The egg was very small. I wonder if they will get larger.
