What's going on with my Aussie?

[sadiebeth12]

Hi all!
I have a beautiful black austrolorp that is 24 weeks old. All of the other hens I got at the same time(6) have been laying consistently for 3 weeks now. However my sweet aussie Miss Bennnet is not. What confuses me is that she has layed a few times, 3 times. But nothing usually. Is this normal? If she hadn't layed at all I tink it would make more sense to me. Any insights?

She may just be warming up. It takes each bird different amounts of time.

....Or she may be cooling down. Especially if you do not have a light in the coop. As the days shorten, chickens lay less and less. My 5 new girls hatched 5/10 each layed for awhile in fall, but all but one has stopped for winter (I do not have a light in coop). You might not see a lot of eggs until late winter - early spring, when things really pick up.
