New to chickens, just bought 6 hens.

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow

Nice breeds you picked! As stated above, give them time to adjust to their new home. Chickens can seem daunting at first, however feel free to ask as many questions as needed.

Hello, Michelle, welcome to BYC.
The "legbar" looks more like a welsummer to me. The "rhode islands" look more like production reds (which go by many different names) or new hamshire.
I'd give them plenty of time to settle in. It may be a couple of weeks before you see eggs again.
 
Yes, as the others have said, chickens despise change. It will definitely take them time to adjust. Even after they adjust (this is from my experience with my chickens), they will gradually start to lay. Beware of the cold. In my experience, our chickens hardly lay any eggs in the winter. But I suppose that depends on where you live.
Welcome to Backyard Chickens! Hope the info was helpful.
