I introduced 3 one-year old laying Red Stars to my flock of 3 one-year old laying Australorps on Saturday. I know Red Stars are heavy layers, and I'm concerned because I brought them to my house 5 days ago and have only gotten 3 eggs from them!
I'm worried about them because I don't want something to happen because they aren't laying regularly and I can't tell if each Red Star has laid one egg, or if it is the same hen that's laid all 3.
What has it been like for everyone else when you introduce laying hens to your flock? Do they lay right away or did it take a week for their stress levels to go down and lay regularly?
