2 lazy layers after a move

Sorry to break into this post. I'm new and have not figured out how to post a new thread. I just got into having chickens. I have a coop with 4 speckled and 3 new hampshire red I just bought and moved them to the new coop. So far I have owned them for a week with 2 eggs laid outside. I have added layer pellets to their feed. I also lowered the nesting boxes thinking they were to high. I also bought fake eggs hoping they would get the clue lmao. At this point I'm stumped. After the first couple eggs on day two I have not had any since. Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Your new chickens are just settling in. The eggs they laid at first were probably already in their "egg chutes" when you brought them home. The stress of a new home will curtail laying for a week or so, then they should resume. But if you're in the northern hemisphere, the move may have coincided with shorter days, which means less daylight, and that may put off egg laying until the days get longer again.
