I have had 6 hens and 1 rooster. We've had some big changes this week.
The rooster has been given his own bachelor pad last Monday due to human agression. He is in a coop within the run so he is visually available to the hens.
Two Barred Rock have been rehomed due to flock agression on Thursday. One hen in particular was losing weight from being bullied and hasn't laid since labor day.
Friday, yesterday, I got 3 eggs as expected. Today zero.
Is this because they are upset?
 
It could be from being upset with change. Also not all breeds lay daily. Some will get into an every other day routine. It also take about 24 hours to make an egg. So if they lay late in afternoon they may miss a day as well.
Mine are just getting started after winter. 1 pen is most all hens laying daily. Another is 4 out of 7 laying every other day. 3rd pen is 2 of 6 hens laying about 3 eggs a week.

Give them a couple days and all should be well
