To lay or not to lay?!

[Mrs.Megan]

Hi All,
I have 4 pullets that are 27 weeks old. My white rock laid at 22 weeks and my easter egger laid at 24 weeks. My RIR has yet to lay~ still a bit skittish but her comb is growing and darkening and she loves to sing. My lt brahma also has not laid but that I expected as I hear they are late to mature. So my question is with the days shortening, do you think they will lay before winter or could I get lucky and have 4 layers all winter?! Thanks for your advice!

My money is on the RIR laying, but the Lt Brahma may wait until spring.

Just cleaned the coop and found this! Had to have been “dropped” in the last 3 days, since that was the last cleaning. Is that typical of a first time layer~ to have a shell-less egg then not lay for a day or two? Or could this even be from one of my other pullers that are a bit more predictable?
