Nest box sitting - no eggs

[Lumikko]

I currently have 4 buff orpingtons, 2 are 23 weeks and 2 are 19 weeks old. Nugget (23 weeks) is the only one laying so far. She has been laying quite consistently since she started about 2 weeks ago. The last 2 days she has gone into the nest box (2x yesterday), sat, but not laid an egg. Otherwise her usual self. Any reason for concern?

Sidenote: apologies for initially posting this half done. Apparently backspace on my phone is causing havok today.

They all mature at different times - patience.

Sorry, some weird technical difficulties. I posted it half done!

I’m waiting and watching for mine to start laying, too. All my girls will be 18 weeks next week. Mixed flock of comets, barred rock, buff orps and black Australorps. Hoping Comets & Rocks will be laying by end of September. Expecting buff orps to begin sometime in October and Australorps mid November maybe? We’ll see what nature decides is the perfect time for them!

Yeah, I'm not worried about the ones not laying but Nugget going in and out of the nestbox without laying

Well, she finally laid an egg after the third nest box sit!
