Oh my gosh I have the same exact problem!!!!! I have three chickens and we moved 2 months ago to our new house. I know they can be stressed from the moved but we have tried everything from leaving them in their house for several days, to golf balls, to different feed. Our one red one though has...
We have had the same thing happen except we moved houses and built a whole new coop!! The first two weeks we just let them roam because the coop wasn't done and we would find two out of the three chicken eggs in some old dog houses that were left and then they moved to an old shed and now that...
I was going to tell you that it's okay because all three of my chickens lay in the same box however they are only laying hens so I have no advice, sorry :(
