Added 10 hens to Flock

[ldrwnorman47]

I recently (3 days ago) added 10 hens to my flock. They were laying before i bought them. They are not now, and understnad that this is normal. How long should it take them to get back to laying again? Thanks

could be 2-7 days depending on how stressed they feel

Yep, it could take a week. I actually had one that took 11 days.

Usually three days to a week. But if they haven't molted yet this season they may do that first then start laying. I got some Leghorns last spring that did that. Took about two weeks before I got the first egg.
