I just got 6 laying hens. Two are Barnevelder, a buff Orpington, a silver lace Wyandotte, a Rhode Island Red. And an Australorp. The two Barnevelders lay everyday, but only one of the others only lay. I just got the four birds Sunday. I am expecting them to start laying soon. Fingers crossed.

Hi and welcome to BYC! Sounds like a beautiful flock. You should know that the stress of moving may cause your chickens to stop laying for a bit. Maybe a few days, maybe a little longer. Also, if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, as the days get shorter, that will also cause fewer eggs. They should pick back up again in the spring.
