No eggs

So we haven’t had our chickens for too long, two of them started laying and stopped which I assume is due to shorter days and moulting. However we haven’t had a first egg from the other ladies, what do I do? At this point I’m paranoid they won’t ever lay

Oh, they'll lay, but in their own good time. Patience.

I honestly feel like it’s been a life time haha

I know the feeling. I've had a few pullets start laying as early as 16 weeks. I had three where the first two did not lay for 9 months, then both started early in December, the shortest days of the year. The third one started a couple of weeks later. Those broke all the rules which means there are no rules. They lay when they lay.

Phew! That makes me feel a lot better

How old are these birds, in months, and how long have you had them?

Same here. 27 weeks and not a single egg. Two Easter Eggers and a Buckeye I raised from chicks. They are healthy and live a life of luxury. I think they are taking advantage of my hospitality. Lol. As one person said....patience. I will try to be patient.
quite frankly I would still love them if they never laid a single egg but.....a little give and take would be nice. Little rascals.

This is exactly the same as me! They are spoilt little things too. Fingers crossed we see some eggs soon!
