My chickens are broken

Have they all been this age at this time of year?
Pullets that reach POL later in the year can be slow to come 'online' due to short days.

I don't have a chronological diary for the chickens since I was a young boy but, we've had many hatches in late spring that went to laying around 20 weeks. Honestly, I think it's the breed. The coop is on a light timer, has been for 20 years.

Interesting......on all year long?
Daily timing and duration?

Australorp. We've had everything from RIR to Marans and back to Wellingtons and everything in between in the las 40 or so years.

My Australorps began laying between 24 and 25 weeks. Got them early spring this year! Central Texas

It's the first time we've waited for 23 weeks and not one egg. I think our chickens are defective.
