How can I tell which hens are laying?

[chickenpotter]

Okay, I am getting eggs from my seven hens. I get 4-6 every day, but never more than 6. I know the green ones are from my EE and the pale brown or creamy colored ones are from my 2 SLWs. That leaves an RIR and 3 Golden Comets. I never get more than three of the brown eggs in one day. Does this mean that one of the brown egg layers is not laying? Or will they all eventually lay on the same day? It seems strange that it hasn't happened yet if they are all laying. Is this unusual?

You may never get seven in one day, not every hen will lay everyday, eventually you should be able to tell who's egg is who's. The comets should lay the most, the others anywhere from 3-6 eggs a week usually.

Thanks 4 that. I should probably stop worrying, but as a new chickenkeeper I tend to over worry about every little thing

That's okay, we all worry about our "kids".
