? about laying

[Mkostos]

I just added 4 pullets to my flock. The seller said 3 of them had just started laying within the past month. They get along with my 3 hens very well so far.

No egss last night. When can I expect to see eggs?

Moving hens to a new location is very stressful for them. They need time to get used to their new surroundings, not to mention their new flock. Give them time...they'll start laying again soon.

X 2 - factor in that they are new layers and were likely still working out a regular laying pattern AND the stress of the move and you have a double whammy impact to their laying. Also, you may find that the addition of new flock members might cause your hens to go "off" for a bit as well - having new birds move in with them is just as much a stressor as moving was to the new birds.

I wouldn't expect eggs for at least a couple of weeks. Moving birds is stressful, and stress will stop birds from laying. They'll lay again when they become used to their new enviroment and feel more comfortable.
