No eggs???

[Emily1220]

I have 2 buff orpingtons that are 6 1/2 months old. One of them starting laying about 3 weeks ago. But it was one egg every 2-3 days. But now she hasnt laid for over a week. Is something wrong?? Should I be worried??? The other one hasnt laid at all yet. Can she be ok to not lay for a week once they start laying???

Oops, forgot to mention that she is eating and drinking and pooping just fine. Doesnt seem to have any problem.But how long can she go like that??

So many variables.

Hiding eggs, eating eggs, heat stress which causes them to not lay, etc. Might want to read this.
