My hens were laying eggs but I only had 1 hen in with a rooster now I have 10 hens in with him and now none of them are laying. What do I need to do
 
If this is a case of cause and effect, you might watch how this rooster is treating the hens. He could be a big clumsy belligerent oaf and is stressing out the hens so much they have quit laying.

If they squawk and fuss and run from him, you might consider keeping him separate from the girls so they can go back to their peace and quiet. You don't need him for the hens to lay eggs, and if you want him to fertilize eggs, that can be accomplished in just a few hours every few days.
 
Are they molting? Probably separate your rooster like Azygous said. :goodpost:

How long have the new birds been there?
How old are all the birds, in months?
How did integration go?
How big is your coop and run, in feet by feet?
Do you free range?
Sorry, lots of questions, but here could be lots of reasons they aren't laying.

Also....
Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!
