One breed not laying like the rest

[KahKaDoodleDo22]

Hi,

So I have 23 hens, 6 of which are 55 Flowery hens. They are known to have a high production rate and are only 2 years old. All other mixed breed hens are laying a ton of eggs for us, but not these guys. I might get one egg from them a day. All of them appear to be in good health.

Any ideas?

First I would ask, are you sure?
...are their eggs so unique you can tell them apart from all the others?

Second, do you free range....might they be laying out in range area?

Maybe they are taking a break for a bit

They are the only breed I have that lay white eggs. Everyone else has a different color. They have a large area to roam and I have checked for eggs out there, haven’t seen any. It would be hard to hide them

Any other thoughts??

Time for an exam:

Then, if exam indicates actively laying:
Free range birds sometimes need to be 'trained'(or re-trained) to lay in the coop nests, especially new layers. Leaving them locked in the coop for a week or so can help 'home' them to lay in the coop nests. Fake eggs/golf balls in the nests can help 'show' them were to lay. They can be confined to coop and maybe run 24/7 for a few days to a week, provided you have adequate space and ventilation, or confine them at least until mid to late afternoon. You help them create a new habit and they will usually stick with it. ..at least for a good while, then repeat as necessary.
