I have two red sex links and two EE since March 1st. All but one EE has been laying eggs for at least two weeks. The RSL's for about a month. Is something wrong or is she just immature for her age? thanks
 
I have 6 pullets that were hatched on March 3rd.
None had layed...Until today!
I had 5 pullet eggs waiting on me when I came home today.

So 1 on my 6 is still not laying yet, but it could happen anytime now.
Don't worry, just give them time, it will happen.

Isn't it fun finding eggs? Thanks for your reply, I feel better> I found that the others would let me pet them more as they got closer to laying( hindsight) and this one EE is still very skittish. Thanks again.

Have you been checking the nests every day? Could be you only have two girls laying for a week or so. Odd for 5 to start the same day, especially if all the eggs are the same color :p
 
I've had a similar experience... I bought all 5 of my day old chicks on the same day in March. One has just started laying, two are close (showing the signs) and two haven't really even developed much of their combs yet. Very strange! This is my first time with chickens so I have no idea if they develop at different rates, or if I didn't actually get all day-old chicks (I doubt this).
