Hello to all.
Im fairly new at this, about two years. However, just moved and having new issues and am hoping to find new resources.
I have one RI Red, One black one?...? and one gold orphington,? I believe.
It has taken a year to nurse the orphington back to health after a rooster beat her up. (notice I have no roosters)

Now, in a new home, preparing to build new coop, etc. they are in a temporary one made out of my son's old playhouse.
Folks, after the move. My red, started molting, they all quit laying eggs...? Its been a month with no eggs... Just wondering if the move was that traumatic?

Any thoughts?
FYI, I am in Southeast Louisiana

Welcome to the community!!

I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a black RIR (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) but there can be really dark ones. All three quit laying, but just the RIR has molted correct? When chickens molt they can stop laying for a while.

They will start laying once they are settled in and feel secure. Welcome to BYC.

Hello and
I'm quite sure. It seems like something along those lines could happen.
Hope you enjoy your time here!

Between moving and molting, they probably just need time.

Best of luck to you & thanks for joining us!
