Stressed hens stopped laying

[bgbrown125]

I had 3 two yr old Barred Rocks that have been good layers . Two weeks ago, I added two 16 week old Barred Rocks to the flock. After a few days of sporadic egg laying, they seem to have stopped completely. Most of the pecking order "stuff" seems to have subsided.
Will they return to laying and when?

Any stress can decrease laying; you just have to wait it out. Make sure everyone is eating and drinking, and not ill. Mary

Ok folks. My chickens seem to have calmed down and are co- existing . My 3 yr old hens have not resumed laying yet???
Any suggestions to restart this egg production?

Time. Crossed fingers. Luck. And good food and management. There's no magic formula! Mary
