I usually just walk out and eat a bucket of KFC in front of mine, they get the message.

, maybe they didn't start laying they just got them from the market cause they are scared

not all breeds lay as soon, most on average it's 4-6 months some breeds it is 9-12 months before they start laying, nothing you can do to hurry biological along. recommendation is patience or a little research on breeds if you need them to lay quickly
by the way ti can vary from pullet to pullet too

You can’t “ make” them start laying, they’ll start whenever they’re ready.

It often takes longer than 6 months.

Wait.
That is the best tip.
This is something that is not under your control. Let nature takes its course.

You can't rush Ma Nature.

My flock hatched feb 20th. I’m not sure if my 2 light Brahmas are laying yet. I think they are just starting this week. Although one has already exhibited broody behavior! Sitting on everyone’s eggs, plucking out breast feathers. Silly teenager, thinking she’s grown!

she may just do it too, i brought home some day old chicks with 8 week olds in the grow out pen and went over cause one of them was really upset, she wanted the box, so I showed her the baby chicks she plucked one out and took it over to where she nested, I was like ok goof ball, and gave her the other 3 for what I thought was temporarily, and there she sat with her little feathers all fluffed out happily talking to the new babies if anyone got to close she was a screeching banshee, she actually brooded them, teaching them , making sure they were warm and everything

May take time, stress from moving will have an effect.
What are they eating in the video?
Climate can have an affect too.

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
