How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

I have 4 hens (Golden Buffs), received them as day old chicks on 31 Oct 14 and got my first egg on Feb 15th 2015. Only one hen is laying, but that's only 3 1/2 months from hatch to egg. Isn't that early? I thought they started laying at 5 months. Again only one is laying, getting 6 eggs per week. About a 25-27 hr cycle, takes a day off. My other 3 hens haven't produced anything yet.

I would size the eggs as small, except for 1 that was large. Do I have an early egg layer?

15 1/2 weeks is early, but not unheard of. My first egg was from a 16 week Cuckoo Marans.
 
6/7 today... Wow... Wouldn't be surprised if one was trying to go broody though... I found one trying to hide her egg under the old truck bed linner I put out there to give them a eagle/hawk hide... She hissed and barked at me when I moved her.
