Whenever you add new members to a flock it can affect egg laying. Roosters can too. Are they laying somewhere else besides the nest box? Is there enough space in the nest boxes?

I keep shutting them up in there run every so often to see if they may be laying away but I never get any eggs so I assume they can't be laying away.
Yes the nest boxes are big enough I have 3 in there.

Then you might be getting eggs and just not finding them.
Don't release them early from now on.
Keep them in there nesting area till about 10am for a
couple weeks and see if they lay any for you.

They mainly run loose but every so often I keep them locked up in there run for a few days to see if I get any eggs an since no, I'm guessing they can't be laying away unless they are crossing there leggs for a few days till ther are free to go back to there secret laying place
