I've had the two new hens for a solid week and neither one have laid an egg.
I'm bummed.
One egg a day just isn't going to cut it, which is all I'm getting now, and that's from my original hen.

I got these two hens with the hopes of getting more eggs eventually.
Now, they're not laying. I don't have room for any more hens, three is really my limit.

What to do?
 
Wait until they adjust to their new home. Any time chickens are moved to a new environment they are liable to take a break from laying. This break in egg laying may be a matter of days, weeks, or in extreme instances - months.
 
I did notice this evening that one of the new hens was in the nest, and the other new hen and my original hen were roosting together on a perch in their lot... which is a huge step, considering just two days ago, they were sworn enemies.
