Egg laying declining

[rihermandez5]

Can any body give me advice??. So I have 7 hens that on average produce 5 eggs a day. That has been going on for about 8 months. I just bought 2 hens and mixed them in with the rest of them. For about 4 days the egg laying was normal, 5/day. Now after the fifth day and till now it has been 7 days that the hens only average 2. Has any body encountered this?? Tips??

How old are birds?
Do you free range?

Stress of adding new birds can slow laying.

They are 1 year. They are in run till 5?then I let them loose. I'm thinking that I added to more 1 year hens and that could affect them, right?
