If they are already a point of laying, then they will need to settle into their new home for a couple weeks before they start back up. Are their combs bright red, this indicates maturity enough for laying.

Give them a couple weeks to settle in before expecting any amount of eggs.

It really depends on each bird.. My girls were 27weeks old when they started. One had bright red comb for about three weeks before she started to lay...

It really does depend on each bird, we currently have pullets just coming into laying, and althouth they're all the same age - one started at seventeen weeks (surprised us), one at nineteen weeks, one at 21 weeks, one at 22, and two haven't started yet.

Also, if they've just been stressed (such as moving), they do need time to settle down and get comfortable before they'll produce. Get them into a routine, get them comfortable with their surroundings, feeling safe, and those eggs will show up!
