I purchased a Lakeshore egger on May 2nd, 2020. It has yet to lay an egg. It seems healthy and is eating/drinking water. Has anyone else experienced this with a Lakeshore Egger?
 
How old is it? did you purchase it as a chick in May?
Yes, I purchased her on May 2nd, 2020. She was a chick, born a few days before that. I believe the store I buy them from purchases all their chicks from Meyer Hatchery.
 
What is she eating and are you sure it's female? :]
LakeShore egger is a fancy name for Easter egger, easter eggers are known to be late bloomers, also it's been winter, chickens usually don't lay in winter due to less day light hours.

I am hoping she is a late layer.
Here is a photo of her from July. I will post another tomorrow. This is what I feed my hens.

Is that a recent photo? Hard to see, but the face doesn't look very red yet, so you're still going to be waiting a while.
Here is a pic of her from this morning.

Once she was off her chick starter food, yes - she has always been fed the Timmons Layer Mash
