    New coop, new chickens, NO eggs now!

    Hi all, I just recently moved my flock of six bantams into a new and much larger coop and run. A few days later, we introduced 2 new chickens to the flock. Since then, we have gotten very few eggs. I'm fairly certain the stress of the new coop and the new chickens is the cause, however I'd...
