Kim ... yes as before any change will effect egg laying... the amount of
time depends on how big the change is. Have you had chicks before or
are they all new to this experience? The brooder alone will be a
change...which they should get over in short order. Only time will tell
but I guess it will be less time then the ducks.

I asked about it here on the group and it was told that any change would upset them and they could stopped laying. Fast forward a couple of months ago we took the ducks out and they started laying again. Now we have bought the new chicks, we have an area that we could build a brooder house in the chicken-coop, would the peeping of the chicks be enough upset for them to stop laying?
