Extremely rarely a hen won't lay. This is not what you have going on. Your problem seems to be lack of patience lol. I've only raised a couple thousand of these things so maybe I'm wrong, but just give them a few weeks and they will lay an egg. Also are you running lights? they won't lay with 14-16 hours a day of full spectrum lighting. I don't recommend putting a light on first time layers but you seem to be in a huge hurry for eggs and that is one thing that will hold them up from laying this time of year. Also keeping them on the grass like that try not to let them eat earthworms, they can get gape from doing it.
