If I have not seen an EE egg in five days, should I assume...

[gritsar]

that it's because of a coop move (same coop, different location)?

the heat, it's 106* right at this moment?

Or

Are the little boogers hiding some? I kept them locked up until 4 PM yesterday and today, but still no EE eggs.

Are they perhaps starting their molt?

I've found mine cut back on laying in the heat. As in the high 80s. I can't imagine they'd want to lay in 106*!

Kat, it's probably a combo of the stress of the move and this brutal heat.
A lot of my chicken friends down here have seen a drastic reduction in their egg production...mine are still doing really well.
