My Young Pullets STILL Haven't Laid Any Eggs

I read one of the "sticky" posts concerning pullets not laying, but it only really addressed Fall/Winter issues. We bought our four young pullets (1 Ameraucana...hope I didn't butcher that name... 1 Black Australorp, 1 Red Sex Link, and 1 Ancona...that we suspect to be a rooster currently) in Mid-February of this year, and the lady said they were only about 3 weeks to a month old. We were told that they should start laying around 5-6 months old and we still are only getting eggs from our older Mottled Houdan. I'd just like to know if we're doing something wrong... we feed them 20% Protein Pullet Feed, they always have a constant supply of water, they free range all day (usually from 8 to 8) and they get regular veggie, bread, fruit scraps. They are as big as our Mottled Houdan and still nothing has happened. Just a bit worried. Thanks for the help.

They are right at that time when they will start to lay it. It can take some a little longer than others. Nothing out of the ordinary here. But I'll bet you get some eggs from them soon. Make sure they are not laying in a secrete nest.

Wish ya the best.
 
Thanks for the help! Our older Mottled Houdan was actually laying for a couple weeks in a sawdust bucket in the shed and we finally found it and unfortunately most of the eggs had spoiled :/ I will definitely go outside after it stops raining and check out every nook and cranny of the yard.
