Moving to a new location is stressful on them it will interfere w/ their laying. Also not all hens, not all breeds lay daily even in high lay times like spring

We just got two chickens, one of a Rhode Island Red and the other the guy wasn't really sure what she was, she's black with a few reddish feathers on her neck. He said that they are about a year old. These are our first chickens. They aren't laying everyday, we have had them a week know and have gotten 5 eggs. The past two days we haven't gotten any eggs at all. It is normal for them to not lay for a few day?
Found a chick under one of my broody hens that had its shell crushed and partially shrink wrapped in the membrane....two days early for the hatch date. The chick was alive and way too sticky from yolk. Took it out, cleaned it up, gave it Nutridrench and put it in a container in the bottom of my cabinet incubator after showing it where its water cup was. Just checked on it...didn't think it would survive. It has fluffed up, is standing and cheeping this morning!!
Go little chickie!!!
Need advise please. I tried to upload a video of my hen but it didn't work so I will try to describe what is going on with her. She walks around (eating and drinking fine) but her head kind of twists down and off to the side repeatedly. She has been doing this for about a week now. What can I do to help her?
