Hen will not eat!!

[wmroth]

I have 14 wyandotte hens that are just over 1 year old. About a week ago I move them to a new coop. Bigger more room. Everything else is the same. Same waterer, same feeder, and same feed. Their egg production dropped and they stopped eating their feed. I changed feed with no success. They will not eat. When I let them free range they seem to eat the grass and scratch for bugs. They will not eat their scratch, feed, or sunflower seed. What should I try? Help. I do not want my birds to die. I am thinking about warm oat meat. Please make some suggestions.

Try making their food something really appetizing, like watermelon or chopped up hard boiled egg. Put whatever treat you choose over their regular food to encourage them to eat their crumble or whatever it is you normally use. I would use the same food they have been used to, it sounds like they are having trouble adjusting and changing additional things like food may stress them out more.
