I have 7 33 week old pullets and 4 18 week olds. Our of the 7 older girls, 2 are easter eggers, 1 laying pink eggs and one lays green. We havent gotten a green egg in 8 days. Is this normal? She seems to be eating and drinking fine. Scratching around the run. These are my first set of chickens. Our daylight hours have decreased. We get light around 8am and dark by 730pm.
 
Also wanted to add we have been getting colder at night this past week. Low 50s- high 30s. Next week we will get into the 20s at night. Would this contribute to her not laying?

I guess my main worry is if shes egg bound. I tried to check her and from what I can tell everything seems fine but I'm also not sure if I'm doing it correctly.
 
Even pullets may slow down during the dark season.
At about 8mo old they may even have a partial molt this winter.
An egg bound hen would be walking like a penguin and be visibly ill.
As long as they are eating/drinking/pooping/moving around OK, I'd not worry.
