We bought 4 chickens. We have had them about a week. We have only gotten two eggs in that time period. The person we bought them from said they were laying when we got them. Is it something we are doing or could it be the change?

Consider yourself lucky they're giving you eggs at all
I've had them stop laying for weeks or MONTHS after I've brought them home. Chickens do not like change, its very stressful for them. Good luck with your new flock!

Thanks. Thought I was doing something wrong.

No your not doing anything wrong.i had a new laying hen stop for two months when I first brought her home. Yes your lucky you got eggs at all! Don't be surprised if they stop laying for a awhile it's normal.
