I tried searching on this topic but couldn't find anything.
I had two 5 month old hens and just added a 1 year old barred rock to replace one that was attacked earlier this summer. The new girl has been here just over a week and is doing well with the group. No bullying or anything like that. She laid once right after arriving and hasn't laid since that I'm aware of.
I assume this is a fairly normal adjustment thing? Anyone else add an established layer to their group and experience the same thing? How long til they started laying again?
