Yes, it's fine. Hens need a while to get on a set schedule before things start to look uniform

They must Erin because my hen didn't lay today. And my other 2 her age aren't laying yet. I'm beginning to think that a squirrel left that egg.

I have 2 Blue Cochin pullets and a Blue Andalusian pullet, these are laying age. 2 blue cochin roos, 1 Andalusian too. 1 giant black cochin. 6 roosters that I don't know what they are and 5 pullets that I don't know what they are. But I love them all. 5 EE bantams, 3 Buff Brahma bantams, 2 Porcelain bantams and 1 cute little bb red game bantam. The bantams are about 11 weeks old.

I currently have 20 chickens of laying age (probably from 8 months to 1 year). And a whole lot of baby chicks from 1-3 weeks of age (haven't counted those )

Lol. You have a lot of chickens but they are fun, interesting, and intriguing aren't they.

I finally got my 2nd egg. Whew, that took a long time. It took me 4 more days to find a second egg. Two of the 4 nest has the straw pushed aside where the hens lay but only one had an egg today. I'll figure this egg laying thing out yet! Lol
