Same age pullets, one not laying yet

[busymama9]

We have 5 hens. 2 Rhode Island reds, 2 Easter eggers and one white leghorn. All but the white leghorn started laying within 3 days of each other and we get 3-4 eggs a day. Usually 4. 2 green and 2 brown. I know the leghorn isn't laying as her eggs would be white. We got them as day old October 21st and they've been laying for 3 weeks.

Is there anything to worry about or do about the one that isn't laying?

Every chicken is different. I think my 5 were spread out over 3-4 months when they started laying. Don't worry yet!

My pullets usually fire up between 4 and 8 months old,,, some start early, others wait.

And they aren't that old yet my last one laid at 11 months of age. Not the norm, but she is healthy and lays me about 4 eggs a week!

Are you sure she's a leghorn....she has white earlobes?

Can always do a butt check:

Oh my goodness. Chickens are just like children who suddenly are fine the second you take them to the doctor. She layed this am! white egg plus the kids saw her in the nesting box "wiggling her bum."

These chicks were all from the same mom and dad. the dad was blue isbar/leghorn (blue egg gene), the mom was a blue cochin/LO (brown egg gene) The white chick ended up a splash with blue and reddish splashes, she now lays a brown egg. One of the other chicks that ended up a pullet now lays a dark green with spots.
