New Chickens not laying....been two weeks

[vtchicken]

Hi all. I picked up two Speckled Sussex hens to add to my flock. There almost a year old. This Saturday will be the two week mark of them at my place, but still no eggs? I figured they would have to get adjusted to my place, since they are now free range as apposed to a pen, but I figured by now they would be laying. Any advise?

Thanks

Free ranging= egg hunt. If they haven't been taught where to lay they'll find their our spot.

Yeah the rest of my chickens are free range, but I know there spots.... Maybe I just haven't found it yet. But they don't disappear to lay like the others.

It may take longer than that for them to settle in. Did you isolate them for a while before adding them to your flock!

Yeah two weeks may well not be enough time to adjust to their new situation.

Thanks for the input everybody, I figured they would need some time.
