We received 3 RIR that were just beginning to lay, should the move to a new environment disrupt there laying schedule?
 
I brought 5 hens (~5 months old) home last Wednesday. Two of them were laying for the previous owner. So far, both of them have laid an egg a day since I got them.
Saturday I brought 5 more hens and a roo home from the same owner. I had them in dog carriers, 3 in each one, for the ride home. One of them laid an egg in the carrier before we got home!
I got an egg from that group this morning, but I don't think it's from the same hen.
In June I brought home 3 EE hens. They laid well, also.
So, in my limited experience, changing their environment hasn't effected their laying schedules much.
Good luck with your new girls!
