My one year old hen lucy laid ger first egg of the year yesterday but today i have yet to see an egg is should i just keep waiting or can.someone tell me why

One of my girls just started to lay on Sunday...
Since then I have gotten an egg every other day, so I got 3 eggs so far this week.
I don't expect to get one tomorrow, since I got one today.
Although I'll keep my fingers crossed that I do.

When they first start laying you can expect some weird eggs and a strange schedule. After a month or two they will figure it all out.

Just trying to figure it all out. For good healthy chicks I would wait at least a week after they start laying to hatch any out. When they go broody you will know, they have this primal growl that comes out of them anytime someone or something tries to get near the nest. She will also start to pluck chest feathers out to warm the eggs. I have had one go broody on me and took eggs out of the fridge for her to hatch with 100% hatch rate. The trick when they are cold is to let it come to room temp before you put it under her.

There are many reasons why she hasn't laid an egg yet. This is wintertime with strange cold snaps and reduced daylight hours. It can take a while to get used to the schedule. I let my hens rest in the wintertime and don't provide extra light so some days I get eggs from everyone and some days I'll be lucky to find one. If this is her first egg ever I would think that her schedule may not be set until spring. If you are worried you can feel her belly and make sure there isn't an egg there but I wouldn't worry.
