2 Malaysians added (6 in flock), no one is laying...

[lovemychickns14]

Hi All,
I have 2 RI reds, 1 Black Star, 1 Fog horn and just added 2 young Malaysians to the flock We have a large coop with 5x8 floor space, 3 roosting bars and 8 nesting boxes. I have a 8x12 outdoor bird net covered run. I added the Malays in late August and all laying stopped. We also had a problem with mites which has been completely addressed. I feed them Layena crumble (as I want them to take time to eat) and they always have access to fresh clean water. We have a light on a timer for adequate light exposure. What am I doing wrong?

How old are these hens? I would try a higher protein ration. They also shouldn't be eating a layer unless they are laying.

What does that mean?

Describe the details of your lighting....duration, timer settings, when started, etc.

Age of birds?
