The pullets might not lay right away as they may need some time to adjust to their new environment. Also if the Roo's are mating a lot you may see some feather loss on the pullets backs.

I agree with the other post. I did a lot of research before I got my birds.

Gail Damerow's 'Storey's Guide to Chickens' is an excellent resource, as well as this web site which is an excellent source of information.

Also here are some other good sites and info and more good links.
