   We got 15 new hens and a rooster yesterday. They are already laying (and all between 5 months and 1 year old). I know that moving them to a new home can be stressful so they won't lay right away, but is there an estimated time of when they will start laying again?
   
   On a side note, here's a video one of my roommates put together showing our chicks, hens and their coop!

   When we purchase new hens, they usually don't go longer than 2 months before they start laying regularly again.

   Nice video, I would rethink using chicken wire, replace with hardware cloth, much more protection for your birds
