Moved to new coop and production has DROPPED

[Peep Nerd]

I moved my girls to their new coop/run about 10 days ago. Egg production has dropped by about 30 percent. I've checked all over and found no hidden eggs and they are not currently free ranging while they adjust to the new coop so I'm pretty sure I would find them. They seem pretty happy otherwise. Any thoughts on what to expect?

ANY change or stress will drop egg production, and perhaps some are starting to molt. They need time to settle in. Hot weather, molying, predator visits, anything can upset them and cause this. Give it time, and all will be well. Mary

Yup. Totally agree with Folly's place. Chickens are sentient creatures. They respond to the environment around them. Changes in place, weather and attacks will effect them. Be patient.
