ok i bought 2 hens i have no idea how old they are but they are about 1+ year old and my other chickens are laying fine but those two have not been laying for 2 weeks
 
Relocation and finding their place in the flock takes time. Two weeks is not too long. You didn't say what breeds that are, or did I miss that?

If they are eating and seem well adjusted, they should begin to lay. I assume you checked them for worms, lice and all the other nasties?
It is possible, sadly, that someone sold you virtually used up hens. If you could post some pictures, it would be helpful. Do show the legs.
 
Some hens could take several weeks to begin laying after being relocated. Are you sure they're around a year old (in other words, can you trust your source to be honest with you?). As FH suggested, it's possible they're older than you were told, and that's why they were rehomed/sold. Hopefully it's just that their system was thrown out of whack by the changes though...
