I have hens that should be laying but haven't started yet. I think it is just the time of year.

You can use daylight temp lighting in the coops to add some daylight earlier in the morning and help with the laying. I only used it once on pullets laying early and dropping eggs off the roost. They couldn't see the nest boxes in the dark was their problem So far this year they slowed down a little but no eggs falling from the roosts.

If you own chickens long enough you will come up with every scenario. Until now my oldest pullet to reach point of lay was an eight month old Welsumer who started laying in February as the days got longer.
Then the end of March last year we got 4 new pullets (Usually add a few every spring to tide us over the winter.), 1 wheaten marans who laid a few eggs to show us she could then stopped. Nothing from the three Clodhoppers, er I mean cochins,. Finally this past week all three started laying at 8.5 months old. At least the eggs are extra large right from the get go.
Could your pullets be laying somewhere you can't find the eggs?
