I have 5 girls, I am not sure exactly how old they are but they are definitely at LEAST 6 months old. Two of them have started paying rent (laying šŸ˜‚) and three of them never had. The two that lay are, I'm pretty sure, a cinnamon queen and a Wyandotte. The other three are all Easter eggers. Not it's starting to get to be fall here so I know they slow down, but is it normal for Easter eggers to not start laying?

some birds just take longer to start, chickens dont care what google says about when they should start laying they just start when they want to.
 
You do not get guarantees with living animals, you just don't. Some Easter Eggers, Wyandotte, Cinnamon Queens, Silkies, or Barred Rock will lay before they are 6 months old, some start later. I can't tell you when your specific three pullets will start.

You can read all sorts of things about why they will or won't start laying in the fall/winter then some break those rules. I had a couple of 9 months old that started laying in early December. They broke every rule people could come up with.

Any one or more of your three could start laying tomorrow. They may wait until the longer days of spring. I understand your frustration and wish you good luck.
