Hens are not laying

[Liamschickens]

Why arnt my girls laying? I recently built a run off the side if my coop. My girls are used to being free roaming, but they were laying where I couldn't get to the eggs.
I make my living off my girls, so this was a problem.
Ever since I built the run, I have not had one egg layed! The run has only been built for about 2weeks.
Will they lay again? I'm sure they will, I'm just worried about them really.

Give them time, they'll start back.

Are they molting? Are they winter layers? I agree with @Wisher1000 , they will start back.

I have had this problem before and in time they get over it
all you did was mess them up on where they would rather
like to lay their egg's to where you would rather have them
deposit the egg's ..... As it was more computable before
for them and it should only take two to three weeks for
them to get back in the comfort zone

Sometimes new things can freak them out a bit for a while. Give them time to readjust and you should be back in the eggs soon.

Great to have you aboard and enjoy BYC!

Welcome to BYC

It's most like stress from the change in routine and the new living arrangements. Chickens really hate change. See here for other causes:

Welcome to BYC!

We're glad to have you. Building the run may have stressed your birds out. Other factors like weather could also cause them to stop laying.
