They may need more than two weeks to adjust to their new home. Are you feeding laying mash.

Thank you. I feed them Purina's Layena Pellets, but then changed it to Purina's Layena Crumbles. They seem to like their feed in smaller pieces. Plus I have oyster shells in a separate container for them to pick at.

They also tend to sleep all together in one nesting box. Not all of them will fit, therefore one would be right up next to the nesting box where the others are at.
