We recently added 2 new "ready to lay" red sex link to our flock just over a week ago. Unfortunately they have not yet started laying eggs, and the other girls have started laying less. Roughly, how long does it take for the new adjustment and for everyone to resume laying???
 
When they are ready. How old are your original birds? How old are the new ones?
There is the stress of the move for the new birds, the stress of new flock dynamics for your original flock and the fact that we are after summer solstice. Depending on the age of your birds, they could be going into molt. All those things will play a role and they may start laying soon or some may wait till after winter solstice.
