New birds in coop, one old stopped laying.

Is this a typical behavior? I added two pullets to the flock of four hens I already have. I used to get four eggs everyday, now i'm only getting three. They are all less than a year old. I've noticed that they don't get along too well yet. Could one hen be holding out on me?

That's not that unusual. By adding the new chickens you've upset the pecking order. Any kind of change can affect them laying for a while. Once they get the pecking order worked out, she should go back to laying.
