Is it normal for pullets to stop laying when you bring them to a new home? I purchased 4 pullets a couple of weeks ago, the day after I brought them home I got an egg, then 2 days later another, since then it has been about 2 or 3 weeks and no eggs. My guess is stress of moving to their home. I have read some of the other postings about chickens stopping laying, and the best explanation I have come up with is stress. They seem to be happy, friendly, eating, and drinking well. Any one have any suggestions? I have 2 Rhode Island Reds and 2 that the breeder I got them from called Golden Sex Links.
