New chicken coop now silkies ain't laying ?

[Judyrobb]

hi all I have had my silkies in their new much bigger coop and I haven't had an egg for 2 weeks. Is this normal? I live in Victoria so it has been a bit cold around 14-17 degrees C

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
How old are your silkies?
Could they be molting? Between the stress from the move and a molt, that will stop egg production.

It is very likely the move to the new coop stressed them out (chickens hate change!) and that is why they stopped laying.

They have to become comfortable in any new surroundings.
Once they RE-developed a "sense of security", eggs will start to go back into production again.
