10/30 looks like I won't be free ranging until later in the afternoon.

why? Mine go back to the coop to lay, I don't have to keep them locked up until they lay.

Same with my flocks, they go back to their coop to use the nest boxes to lay their eggs. Occasionally, when they were new at it, I would find an egg that was laid out in the yard, but not very often. Now I only get eggs in the nest box.
Today I got 5 eggs from 9 hens.
Change that to 6 eggs from 9 hens. When I went to lock them up for the night, I found 1 more egg!

Yep, when they'd finish and sing the egg song the rooster would crow to let them know where the flock was.

If the hen didn't high tail it to him, he'd run to her, give her a quick scold and chase her back the the group.

The first day, we got two eggs and then one egg a day for the last two days. No eggs today. Our girls are just starting to lay and since we are new at this chicken farming it makes us think that they are just getting started. We think there is only 1 or 2 hens laying at the moment. Could we be right and the egg production will ramp up as the girls get older?

We have four Moyers that are about 17 weeks old. The other girls are Golden Comets that are about 16 weeks old.

Yes - you are right. There will be some stops and starts as each of your girls gets their system up and running and works out all the kinks --- before you know it you'll have more eggs than you know what to do with.
