Got 4 yr old chickens about 2 months ago and only one of them has been laying

I am a relative newby myself and inherited Rhode Island Red chickens when we bought our new place. Mine are about 4 and I get one egg every other day. I used to have 7 hens but have lost 5 due to unknown reasons. I do believe if they are over-treated they lay less because they get full on treats and do not eat enough of the layer pellets.

makes sense., i do give them meal worms alot

Our Cinnamon is a rescue chicken (no idea what breed ). She was malnourished, with a very pale comb, couldn't roost, licked lettuce instead of eating it etc. You get the sad picture . After 10 weeks of TLC she surprised us with her first egg and hasn't looked back. For 3 years she lays every day a huge egg. Give them some time and they might surprise you . Good luck.
